Join us for an amazing event, 50 years in the making!

    In 1960 the first Fitchburg Longsjo was held to remember the late Arthur M. Longsjo who died tragically in a car accident on his way home from Montreal in September of 1958.

    As the city of Fitchburg honored the loss of its greatest athlete, a new tradition was born. Over the last 50 years, the Fitchburg Longsjo Classic has grown and developed into one of the most important landmarks in American cycling. Nearly every American racer who has found success in Europe has pedaled the streets of Fitchburg.

    Join us July 2-5, 2009 for an incredible weekend of racing and memories. Help us celebrate the amazing history and dynamic future of the Longsjo with many of our past champions, and important figures. Say hello to Terry Longsjo-Brackett and long-time announcer Dick Ring. Take a ride with 1961 winner Arnie Urhlass and the original Raleigh Boys. Make your reservations now and explore the weekend’s schedule to get ready for this once in a lifetime experience.
