The countdown is on to the Philadelphia Cycling Classic this Sunday.
The Philadelphia Cycling Classic is welcoming back Team Novo Nordisk, a professional cycling team whose riders all compete while living with Type 1 diabetes.
The race is back in the city for the first time in nearly a decade and will bring professional cyclists to a course that winds through Philadelphia and features the iconic Manayunk Wall climb.
The Philadelphia Cycling Classic returns to the city on August 30, 2026 after a decade without a race and we have some of the best watch spots to catch the action. The all-day event features a women's race in the morning and a men's race in the afternoon.
With 12 days remaining before the Philadelphia Cycling Classic, former Mayor Michael Nutter and former first lady Lisa Nutter are cheering on the return of a race they say is an important part of the city's cycling culture.
