6 timesThe Liberty Classic was an annual women's bicycle race held from 1994 to 2012, simultaneously with the Philadelphia International Championship.
From 2002, it was an Elite Women's Category 1 event under UCI race classifications.
The Liberty Classic was the final leg of the inaugural 2006 Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling for women.
The Triple Crown was a one-week, three-race circuit, with the three races taking place in the Eastern Pennsylvania cities of Allentown, Reading and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In January 2013, the race's organisers announced that the 2013 International Championship and Liberty Classic had been cancelled,[1] with local media reporting a breakdown in the relationship between the organizers and the city authorities; however, in May of that year a group of local politicians and promoters announced the revival of the men's and women's races as The Philadelphia Cycling Classic, under the direction of Robin Morton.
