The National Cycling League Inaugural Miami Beach Invitational Cycling Race

The National Cycling League (NCL) is the first-ever professional cycling league. The NCL’s inaugural race, the NCL Cup Miami Beach Invitational, will officially launch in Miami Beach on Saturday, April 8, beginning at noon on Ocean drive at 11th Street. Miami visitors and locals can watch the race from their exclusive VIP seats or for free along Ocean Drive. The event will feature activities for the whole family, including a community bike ride, races for children, and volunteer opportunities. The FanFest expo will feature an array of food options, health and fitness vendors, live art, and a Kids Zone with games, face painting and more! Join the NCL to watch Olympic and world-class professional cyclists from around the globe compete in two, action-packed 1-hour races!

Founded in 2022, The National Cycling League (NCL) is revolutionizing professional cycling into a world-class spectator sport. The NCL has changed the rules of cycling to offer a shorter, quicker, and more exhilarating experience similar to the traditional structure of many pro sports. The National Cycling League (NCL) is the first majority women and minority-owned league and the first gender-equal professional sport, where men and women compete on the same team and contribute to the scoreboard equally. The 2023 NCL Cup is a series of four professional criterium races in 4 of the most iconic cities around the U.S. - Miami Beach, Atlanta, Denver, and D.C. Each men’s and women’s race is 30 laps of a 1-2 km loop where every lap counts towards the scoreboard. Professional teams made up of Olympic athletes and world-class cyclists will compete in the NCL Cup’s 4-race series for the chance to win a share of over $1 million in prize money.
