01 · The Race

Fast laps. Tight corners. One sprint.

The field stays together lap after lap until someone attacks or it all comes down to the line. Press play for the 2024 P/1/2 race.

02 Spectators

Free to watch. Every lap.

The same riders come past every few minutes, so any spot on the course is a good one. Pick a corner to see the moves, or stand at the finish for every category's sprint.

03 · Kids Race + Ice Cream

Bring the kids.

Kids learn the basics at the clinic, race their own race on the same streets, then cool off with ice cream.

  • Clinic first. Then race.

    Kids learned the basics at the clinic hosted by Trek, then lined up for the kids race right after. Ice cream for the kids came from Mr. Dewies.
