About the Witches Cup

WITCHES CUP RETURNS TO SALEM COMMON
On Wednesday, August 10th, Salem comes alive with the unmistakable bee-hive hum of professional bicycle racing. North Shore residents and bicycling fans from across the country will experience one of the country’s most unique bicycle races.

FRONT-ROW ACTION

With speeds averaging 25-35 mph and reaching up to 45 mph during sprints and attacks, an exciting race is guaranteed. One hundred riders compete throughout the 70 lap, 35 mile race around the historic Salem Common. The crowds are just feet from the racers and can see all the action during the ½ mile loop around the Salem Common.
