The Roger DeLanghe Trophy Race honors the legendary Roger DeLanghe, an icon on the Midwest race scene. Since his emigration from Belgium years ago, Roger has worked tirelessly to promote bike racing throughout the region, culminating in the addition of the Quad Cities Criterium to the USA Cycling’s National Racing Calendar.
This premier race is a salute to Roger DeLanghe. Brutally fast, this 50 lap scratch race contest pays the top 25 riders and offers the largest total purse of the season. Because of the big purse and the amazing sponsors, nearly any rider who finishes the race will receive some hard earned dollars in a payout. Crowd favorites are the 4-place “mid-way sprint prime” at 25 laps and the 2-place “gamblers” prime at 2 laps to go.
Each year the winner’s name is engraved onto one of the most impressive trophies in cycling. You can view the trophy and the engraved list of all of the winners at Northbrook Park District Sports Complex on the 1700 block of Pfingsten Road in Northbrook.
