What is Pump Track Racing?
Pump Track Racing involves high-speed cyclists maneuvering rolling jumps and banked turns on a smooth asphalt course. Riders "pump" through the track to gain speed, racing head-to-head or in tight time trials where every fraction of a second counts. It's a thrilling experience for competitors and spectators alike!
Why High River?
High River is home to Alberta's longest active pump track, measuring 160 metres. It features an advanced design with the ideal length and complexity for elite-level competition, and its central location makes it easily accessible for large groups of athletes.
This is an excellent event for High River and a massive win for cycling in Alberta. Don't miss the action – it will be fast, fun, and full of community spirit!
