2013 Tour of America's Dairyland races set

The Tour of America's Dairyland, presented by Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, is in its fifth year. 

"We are stoked to once again have a 4-day omnium as part of the awesome USA Cycling NCC schedule," said Jack Hirt, executive director of the tour. "We are incredibly proud to be able to offer this top caliber competition to the pro men and women within our series, which also affords 10 straight days of solid racing to masters, Cat 4/5s, Cat 2/3s and Cat 3/4 women." 

In 2012, Tour of America's Dairyland, the largest competitive cycling event in the U.S., averaged nearly 500 racers per day across multiple categories and awarded over $140,000 in cash and primes, including $31,000 in the Becker Law Women's Series and $6,250 for the Ben's Ultra Prime at the ISCorp Downer Classic.
