Syracuse Race Weekend

First of all we want to thank the racers for traveling to Syracuse for the 22nd Race Weekend and providing a very competitive field, and our volunteers who always make our race the fun and well run event that it always is.

We got the best feedback ever from the racers this year and the changes we made to the crit venue and our prompt results were appreciated by everybody involved. The stars aligned to provide great weather all weekend long, where we enjoyed a lot of fast and fun racing.

Over the 22 years we’ve been holding this race, we’ve always looked to make adjustments to the format and venues for Race Weekend to keep it competitive for racers and fun for spectators. We’ve don’t have all of the details for 2018 worked out just yet, but based on the feedback and surveys we’ve done, we can tell you that we are making some changes that everyone should enjoy.

Next year the omnium will be a 3 event, 2 day race. That will make travel and cost a lot easier for everybody. We promise to make things compact and easier for everyone to get to the venues and have time in between to adequately prepare. We are still planning which event will be eliminated but the omnium will definitely still include the road race. The date will most likely be in late July 2018 when the Road Race schedule is otherwise very sparse.

So stay tuned and we will keep everyone posted on what will be happening for next years race.

If you have any feedback or ideas please let us know. We are open to everyone and every idea. This is all about putting on an event that we can all have fun with.

Now that you are all signed up (or coming for day-of!), here's a reminder on number placement. Don't get missed on the finish line! We'll be running numbers on the right for all events except the road race. Switch to the left for that race.

As we prepare for the coming season, a note about number placement (which you'll hear again). Please see the photo, and guess which rider gets a sure spot in the results. The others? Not looking good. Good placement also applies to the second number, on the back. Low, on the pockets, will be the best place to ensure the officials see your number.
