Manayunk Wall

Manayunk Wall

The Manayunk Wall is an inclined street, comprising all of Levering Avenue and a few blocks of Lyceum Avenue, that is a part of the Philadelphia International Championship bicycle race in Manayunk, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia International Championship has become the final leg of a one-week, three-race circuit called the Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling, an annual one-day bicycle race. The "wall" begins at Main Street in Manayunk and most years ends at Pechin Street in Roxborough.
