This is a temporary website. Our full website is in the works. Stay tuned. Arlington Sports, Inc was founded in 1998 with the primary purpose of supporting the sport of cycling. As a 501-c-3 Non-profit, it’s mission is to develop and promote amateur and professional cycling. With the creation of the Clarendon Cup bike race, the organization was off an running.
In 1999, the US Postal Service obtained the title sponsorship rights, and ASI was able to obtain National Race Calendar status, establishing its position on the US professional cycling scene. Then, in 2004, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) added the event, now referred to as the to their overall cycling sponsorship program to compliment their professional cycling team, and re-named it allowing it the CSC Invitational. CSC’s sponsorship has allowed the continued growth of the event to not only become the Washington, DC regions premier professional bike race, but is now also considered one of the top cycling events in the US.
In 2000 and 2001, ASI created and ran other properties, including the Capital Cup and a women’s elite cycling team. In 2007, ASI expanded again creating and managing the Crystal City Classic, presented by the US Air Force (in Arlington, VA), and the Priority Health Grand Cycling Classic. (in Grand Rapids, MI).
ASI will continue to nurture and grow it’s existing properties with the objective of returning exceptional value for sponsors investments, and to allow more athletes to gain experience to help further their careers and abilities.
