Fastrack Racing is bicycle racing designed for younger riders - whether new to the sport or an experienced racer. Each race day includes a variety of short events that help teach basic racing skills and good sportsmanship. Every racer will be able to compete in 2 or 3 races on a closed 1/3 km course. Fastrack Racing is TEAM format racing. Fun is the only (and best!) prize. There will be no individual results or awards.

Racers that are not already part of a team will be assigned to one for race day; smaller teams may be combined for the event. Each event will result in points for the top 5 riders; points will be totaled for team results. All riders ages 9-14 (as of Dec. 31, 2026) are welcome to participate!

Helmets are required. Rain or wet pavement will cancel the race and all pre-registered riders will be notified and fees reimbursed. The promoter and course officials reserve the right to combine or split fields depending on size.

The Fastrack Dates for 2026 are:

Saturday, April 25 - CCBC Catonsville
Sunday, May 3 – Montgomery College
Saturday, May 16 – Montgomery College
Sunday, May 31 – CCBC Catonsville
