The crown jewel and final leg of the 2008 Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling is the Philadelphia International Championship on June 8. More than 200 of the world’s top male professional cyclists descend upon the city of Philadelphia to race in the longest running and most important single-day cycling road race in the United States. The cyclists will complete 10 laps of a 14.4-mile circuit through Philadelphia. They will finish with three laps of Lemon Hill and Logan Circle, having logged 156 miles total in one of the biggest special sporting events in the country.
The day also includes the Commerce Bank Liberty Classic with more than 100 professional, international women cyclists competing. The 57.6-mile race consists of four laps of a 14.4-mile circuit through Philadelphia with four steep climbs up the grueling Manayunk Wall. The Liberty Classic is the final leg of the 2008 Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling for women and is held during the men’s International Championship on the same course.
