The 2026 WI/IL Cup is rolling, and it's a tale of two velodromes! Rack up points at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome in Northbrook, IL AND the Washington Park Velodrome up in Kenosha, WI.

Here's the deal: ride BOTH tracks, race your heart out, and chase the overall title. Your top 2 of 3 races each night count — so every lap matters! 💨

Cash on the line for the top 3 overall in every category — Cat 1/2, Cat 3, Cat 4, and our awesome Juniors (9–14 & 15–18). One lucky rider even snags merch from FSA!

📍 Ed Rudolph (Northbrook, IL): Thursdays, gates roll, racing at 6:45 PM
📍 Washington Park (Kenosha, WI): racing at 7:00 PM

Must race at least one night at EACH track to qualify. So tune those bikes, pump those tires, and let's send it across state lines!

THIS THURSDAY MADISON NIGHT AT THE VELODROME!

Two riders. One team. Infinite chaos — in the best possible way. 🔥

The Madison is back on the boards at Ed Rudolph! Watch riders launch their partners through the pack like a human slingshot, tag in, tag out, and rack up those sprint points. It's part relay race, part chess match, and 100% the most entertaining event in track cycling.

Come witness the slings, the strategy, and yes — the occasional "wait, which one is racing?!" moments. 😂
