Portland Trophy Cup
A weekly Tuesday-night cyclocross race at Portland International Raceway blending hard training laps with clinics and kids' racing in a party atmosphere.
The vibe
Bike race meets weeknight party
Portland Trophy Cup bills itself as a race that combines the best parts of a bike race and a party, and it delivers on both. Every Tuesday night through the fall, Portland International Raceway turns into a cyclocross training ground — hard, fast laps for riders sharpening up for weekend races, wrapped in a low-stakes, social atmosphere.
It’s not just for racers chasing a result. The series runs a Kiddie Cross program and clinics alongside the main event, so families and beginners show up right next to riders doing serious interval work. That mix is part of what’s made it a fixture of Portland’s cyclocross scene.
PIR’s flat, open layout means fast, spectator-friendly courses — bring a folding chair, a beer, and cheer for whoever’s suffering through the barriers that week.
