DAVENPORT, IOWA (May 15, 2025) — The 58th edition of the Quad Cities Criterium is now part of the Illinois Cup series.
For many years, the Illinois Cup has highlighted the best races in Illinois and surrounding areas. This year’s six-race series runs from April through July with races in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Riders win points by competing in each race with winners crowned as the best overall cyclist.
"The level of racing at the Quad Cities Criterium is always top notch, and we are excited to have this event as part of the 2025 Illinois Cup!" exclaimed Chad Briggs, Iowa Cup Race Director.
“We are honored to be the first Iowa-based race to be chosen by the Illinois Cup race series. We can’t wait to host these incredibly competitive racers on Memorial Day” said Tom Schuler, Quad Cities Criterium Race Director.
The Quad Cities Criterium started as the Moline Criterium in 1965 and has evolved over the years, eventually landing on Memorial Day in 1975.
