In the cycling boom of the 1980's, Salem proudly hosted annual
elite calibre bicycle races with national exposure. 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.
The 2010 Witches Cup presents racing for both men and women
at all levels.
This year is the 4th year since the reincarnation of the
Witches Cup. This year will prove to be even bigger than last
years 30th Anniversary with a bigger and better hospitality
tent sponsored by Wachusett Brewing Company, racing for all

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.
