Owasco Stage Race

All Canadian cyclists are invited to participate in the Owasco Stage Race to be held the weekend of May 15th and 16th in Auburn, NY.

This is the first year of our stage race. The Owasco Velo Club's goal is to host a professionally run race for amateurs. Check out our owascoveloclub.com/raceweekend2.html race weekend link for complete details.

The Saturday road race is competitive, especially for the Cat1-2, and Cat 3 classes at 72 miles. For the Sunday Criterium, we created a downtown festival which we hope will attract several thousand viewers to watch the days racing. 

We hope many Canadians will make the short drive to Auburn and increase the level of competition. Online registration is being handled through bikereg.com.
