Experience Oak Creek on Race Day
Ready. Set. Race. The Clocktower Classic is back, and better than ever! New this year, Oak Creek hosts the thrilling kickoff of the Tour of America’s Dairyland. On race day, Drexel Town Square transforms into a high-speed bike track, where professional and elite cyclists battle it out through the streets of Oak Creek. It’s excitement you can feel, as the rush of the peloton blurs past, and the crowd roars. This isn’t just a race; it’s an immersive experience. And there’s even a chance for kids to test out our racecourse during our community hour.
