One Series. Two DAys. All out.

The word “Papillion” is derived from the French word for butterfly. Downtown Papillion was the home to a beloved criterium between 2007 -2017. Omaha Sports Commission has partnered with the City of Papillion and Sarpy County Tourism to bring this race back as part of the ONE Cycling Series. Same course. New vibes.
