Wednesdays at Wakefield

Four Wednesday Races make for One Great Series

Plan to get off of work a bit early and join over 200 riders for four spectacular weekdays of racing starting May 29th! Pitched as a race “in your own backyard”, W@W features a very down-home and earthy venue. We are keeping the series as grassroots as you can get. But don’t let that fool you, this race series is a highly organized event, that allows for enough riding categories to give everyone a fighting chance.

Bike Lane Race Team works hard to host a community-oriented race series. We have an all-volunteer staff who works closely with our local IMBA club, Mid Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts (MORE), to make sure we have fun singletrack to race, that is great for everyone from juniors to beginners to elite racers. We also partner with Trails for Youth, who run the Youth Races early in the evening.  A portion of the proceeds from W@W goes to MORE and Trails for Youth.

Wednesdays at Wakefield is not just a few races, it is an epic race series! Some come for one or two events, some even complete four. But for those that are driven, winning the four-race series comes with its own set of prizes! Every place you earn (between 1st and 13th) in the W@W series gives you points towards the Series Championship.
