It's the goal of the Witches Cup organizers to revive the strong bicycle racing tradition in downtown Salem, Massachusetts. After a seven year lull, the Witches Cup under the direction of Salem-based promoters, returned in 2007.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Cycling has been described as one of the most beautiful sports in the world. It showcases not only teams, but individuals driven by a force deep within the soul. Why else would you see a cyclist riding up those hills that cars have trouble ascending, or riding in the rain, sleet, and snow? It’s a power and feeling that comes deep from within that needs to be experienced to be believed. The beautiful and historic Salem Common is the ultimate setting to experience this feeling

About Salem

Since 1626, when Roger Conant arrived with the first settlers, Salem, Massachusetts has been attracting people from all points of the compass. Many come to visit and some decide to stay and make Salem their home.

It may be most widely known as the site of the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692, but this colorful, coastal city has much to offer both residents and visitors: a culturally diverse population, a rich maritime heritage, an impressive display of historic architecture and amazing stories that span almost four centuries.
