Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Hundreds of riders as young as 5 and over 50, from beginner to pro competed in Raytown during the BMX Mid America Nationals, July 23-25. . . .

Riders were expected from across the county . . .

The three-day event was held at Raytown BMX, a USA BMX sanctioned facility. While cancelled in 2020, Raytown has hosted four previous nationals.

“We have an exceptional track in Raytown, and our 2018 national race hosted people from Texas, Colorado, New Jersey and several states in between,” said Dave Turner, City of Raytown Parks and Recreation Director. “I am proud that this is one of the few events that Raytown can host on a national scale. We are ecstatic to have a facility that is ranked so highly by the USA BMX organization.”

During the weekday from April – November, practices are held on Mondays and races on Thursdays at the Raytown BMX track. Rental bikes and equipment are available as well as concessions.

MoBikeFed comment: This is one of the few national bicycle events held in Missouri - and this year for the fifth time.
