Alberta Cup
The Journal Cup competition recognizes participation and excellence in provincial track racing. The Journal Cup is calculated according to a rider’s total number of Omnium points accumulated at ABA-sanctioned Track Meets through the season. Individuals accumulating the most points over the course of the season will have their names inscribed upon the Journal Cup.
Track categories are based on equivalent road category groups. However, riders may be in different road and track categories based on their performance in the respective disciplines.
