Hundreds of BMX athletes will converge at Nepean BMX, Ontario for the 2nd stop in BMX Canada National Series — The Capital City BMX Nationals — the second of seven National weekends stretching from BC all the way to Ontario.

Over 600 competitors from Canada and the United States will go head-to-head in pursuit of National titles and district points. The race format features riders grouped in heats of up to eight based on age, gender, and ability. Alongside the racing, attendees can explore vendors, team setups, appearances from Olympic hopefuls, and a range of food options available on-site.

Participants as young as two years old will compete on strider bikes, with divisions covering a wide range of ages and skill levels, including Superclass — the premier category featuring prize money for top finishers in the men’s and women’s divisions.

Admission is free for spectators, with racing running from Friday, May 29 through Sunday, May 31. The event is sanctioned by BMX Canada and supported by Impact Canopy, Tangent Products, and Fly Racing. A full schedule can be found here.

For BMX Canada licensed riders who have yet to experience a National event, a BOGO (Buy One, Get One) offer is available to help more participants get involved. Full BOGO details can be found here.

Walk through storied streets, paddle along scenic rivers, and experience festivals almost every weekend that highlight local culture, music, food and heritage.
