Board conditionally approves Chester County Velo road race permit for May 17
Summary
Pocopson supervisors granted conditional approval for a USA Cycling–sanctioned road race on May 17, 2026, a 2.5‑mile loop at Pocopson Park with rolling closures; the organizer will follow conditions in the March 19 zoning memorandum.
The Pocopson Township Board of Supervisors on March 23 conditionally approved a Special Events Permit for Chester County Velo to hold a USA Cycling–sanctioned road race on May 17, 2026. Scott Gamble, representing the organizer, described a 2.5‑mile loop that will start and finish at Pocopson Park, use rolling closures, employ volunteer marshals and pace vehicles, and rely on a lead and tail vehicle for safety.
Gamble told the Board the event "would be a USA Cycling sanctioned event, and they would hold the required insurance for the race." He said there will be approximately five races through the day, with the first race beginning at 8:00 a.m. and the last finishing around 4:30 p.m.; organizers estimate about 50 cyclists per race averaging 25 mph. The Board authorized conditional approval subject to the conditions in the Township Zoning Officer's March 19, 2026 memorandum.
