The Tom Bamford Lancaster Classic was a professional road bicycle race held in late May or early June between 1992 and 2007 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. With the exception of the first race, which was 57.6 miles (92.7 km), the Lancaster Classic covered about 91 miles (146 km).[1][2][3][4] Due to the "short, winding hills," it had a very low attrition rate, with 37% of starters finishing the race on average.[5][6] 2003's 14% attrition was lower than that of the 2021 Tour de France, in which 23% of starters finished.[7]

History

[edit | edit source]

The race was established in part by Lancaster mayor Janice Stork, along with sponsor CoreStates Financial Corporation (and its acquisitions, Hamilton Bank, First Union, and Wachovia National Bank), in an attempt to revitalize the downtown area.[8]

The race underwent several name changes:

It was part of the following tours:

In 2006, two additional races were added: the women's and elite amateur men's race lasted for 25 miles (40 km) and 30 miles (48 km), respectively, around a 0.68 miles (1.09 km) circuit in downtown Lancaster.[1][18][34]

The Lancaster Classic ended abruptly after the 2007 event and was replaced by the Lehigh Valley Classic in nearby Allentown.[35]
