The Air Force Cycling Classic’s Clarendon Cup is part of USA Cycling's National Racing Calendar, and is now in it's 13 year. The race showcases a form of cycling involving a series of high-speed bike races that take place on a 1km course on city streets. The Clarendon Cup is known as one of the most difficult criterium races in the U.S. due to technical demands of the course and the quality of the participants.

The men ride for 100 laps (100km) and we guarantee an exciting finish as they race to be crowned winner of this prestigious event.
