This season, Charlotte Sports Cycling has teamed up with
East Blvd Bar and Grill, Heartwood Tree Service and the Dirt Divas to host the always exciting winter short track race series. The
winter race series is set to kick off
SUNDAY, January 17.
The short course
adds a unique
style of racing to the
Charlotte area.....short-track mountain bike racing on a 3/4
mile trail with bank turns. It's a cross between a
criterium, BMX, cyclo-cross and single-track, super fast and
spectator friendly. Charlotte Sports Cycling and the Tarheel
Trailblazers have worked hard to create a trail that's
exciting for the race participants and spectators. Participants, based
on category, will race 15 to 25 laps on the fast course. All
of the events will be held at Renaissance Park. We plan to
have food, an event photographer, and music at all of the
events.
Make up
race will be Feb 20 with party to follow!
