The Wade Franck Memorial Cup is one of three events comprising the Iowa Memorial Cup presented by the Iowa Bicycle Coalition. The Iowa Memorial Cup is a series of three race weekends with an overall series winner being crowned in each category. While points are awarded at each event, the main goal is to increase awareness of Bicycle Advocacy in the state of Iowa. Each race weekend will focus on remembering someone that was lost in the local community by respectfully telling their story. We believe that advocacy promotion through these events will increase awareness in the local communities and connect cyclists with action plans. The series is presented by the Iowa Bicycle Coalition, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to promote Iowa cycling as safe and enjoyable recreation and transportation.
