Women Leading the Classic's Return 

As we celebrate Women's History Month, the return of the Philadelphia
Cycling Classic is being shaped by a women‑led effort across key
partners, including race director Robin Morton and the communications
and marketing team at Athena Global Advisors [10].  

>From race operations to storytelling and community engagement, women are
playing a central role in bringing this iconic event back to
Philadelphia.  

It's a fitting reminder that the Classic's next chapter is being driven
by leadership, expertise, and vision from women across the sport and the
city--this month and beyond. 

_"The Philadelphia Cycling Classic is proud to partner with incredible
women-owned and women-led businesses to power the race's return. Equity
doesn't happen by accident--it happens by choice. From our partnerships
to our equal prize purse, we're intentional about building a race that
reflects the values we hold and want to uplift." _
