The Colorado Classic on Monday announced the four cities that will host the cycling race this summer—Snowmass Village, Avon, Boulder and Denver.
Held August 27-30 and presented by Denver-based VF Corp., the Colorado Classic is North America’s only standalone women’s professional stage race. After a successful 2019 debut as a women’s-only race, organizers will continue to provide financial support, global exposure and competitive opportunities for the best female cyclists from around the world, while also showcasing some of the most scenic surroundings in Colorado.
While the courses have yet to be finalized in each location, the four-day event will follow iconic Colorado routes featuring tough climbs, gravel roads, sprints, and fan-favorite circuits. With public events held at each location, the race will be a four-day, family-friendly celebration of health, fitness, community and all things Colorado.
“We are thrilled to have such a strong line-up of communities for the 2020 event. Each market offers a notable connection to pro cycling, an ideal landscape for competitive racing and a strong commitment to bringing unique and engaging events to their community,” said Lucy Diaz, CEO of RPM Events Group, LLC. “Each partner also aligns with our mission to advance women in sports and we are excited to work together to build out programming around each race stage that celebrates the athletes and engages the community.”
“We are happy to support the Colorado Classic as it continues to build momentum as the pinnacle event for women’s cycling in North America,” added Cathy Ritter, director of the Colorado Tourism Office. “The latest race route will not only create a challenging course for these top women cyclists but showcase some of the most beautiful landscapes in Colorado.”
