The Elaine Nekritz Trophy Race was created in 2006 to ensure that women had the opportunity to race in an event that offered a higher level of competitiveness and a higher prize distribution. The event is sponsored by Alberto’s of Highland Park. Elaine has a long history of affiliation with the shop and it was fitting for them to be part of this important milestone for the women’s program at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome.  The event is ranked among the largest prize offering for women racers.  Two races are held and elite race (category 1/2/3) and a category 4.
