Bucks County Classic Bike Race Returning To Doylestown For 22nd Year

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Bucks County Classic bike race, one of the biggest events in Bucks County and best races in the country, returns to Doylestown for the 22nd year on Sunday, Sept. 13.

“It is an honor to be able to continue to host the race in the Borough of Doylestown,” says Race Director Laura Reppert. “This is a truly unique event. The Bucks County Classic is the only major race in the country that takes place in a town and not a city. The atmosphere, course, and community support have made this race a destination for racers each year and a sort of homecoming as many have forged long-standing friendships with community members.”

All events for the day take place on a 1.4-mile closed circuit course that passes through business and residential areas, providing numerous vantage points to view the action up close. Each event starts and finishes at the monument at Court and Main Street with sponsor and team tents lining the finish line stretch.

An expo area on Court Street between Pine and Broad will feature food trucks, local businesses, and bike industry partners. Inside the course from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. is the Doylestown Arts Festival with 100+ artists and live entertainment stages.

Racing starts at 9 a.m. with amateur categories for those with USA Cycling race licenses. Before the professional racers from across the country and around the world vie to be the next Bucks County Classic champion, community members with a bike and helmet are invited to try the course for free during the Ride the Course.

In addition, between the Penn Medicine Doylestown Health Pro Women's Race and Thompson Pro Men’s Race kids ages 3 to 12 can sprint to the finish just like the pros thanks to Jarrett Vaughan Builders.

The Bucks County Classic is organized by MSH Productions LLC, a woman owned event production company. The race would not be possible without the support of the Borough of Doylestown and local businesses.

This year’s event is supported by the Thompson Organization, Penn Medicine Doylestown Health, Eastburn & Gray P.C., Heavy and Highway Construction Laborer’s Local 158, Penn Medicine Doylestown Health Foundation, Bucks County Tourism Grant, Jarrett Vaughan Builders Inc, Hepatitis B Foundation, Baruch S Blumberg Institute and the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center, LiUNA, TD Bank, Inspired Closets, Max’s Electric Bikes, Heiler Painting, Bucks County Classic Community Organizing Group (COG), and Verge Sport.
