2019 IS WHEN IT ALL STARTED, ROADS CONVERGED.

The DuPage Sports Commission (DSC) launched, DuPage County remained the healthiest destination in Illinois, and the Intelligentsia Cup cycling series continued to dominate the summer sports scene. DuPage was ripe to welcome a larger presence in this renowned cycling event. In partnership with the Village of Lombard, the Lombard Cycling Classic (LCC) was established –making Lombard the third stop in DuPage County out of Intelligentsia Cup’s 10 stops in Chicagoland. 2019 was an exciting inaugural year.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY. The Village of Lombard and DSC are once again hosting the Lombard Cycling Classic. Intelligentsia Cup remains the largest competitive road cycling event in America. And we are ready to partner with you to maximize exposure to DuPage residents, our hospitality industry, and event participants hailing from all corners of the country and throughout the world.
