The ACME Shorty Kids Bike Race!
This event is expired.
The Acme Shorty is grassroots mountain biking at its best, offering a great experience for racers of all ages and skill levels. We have races for adults weekly on Wednesdays from 4/18 through 5/23. Visit http://www.acmemarin.com/events/ for more information about the adults' races.
We offer FREE bi-weekly races for little kiddos (5th grade and below), April 25, May 9, and May 23 at 5:00PM. Our kids’ races give children a chance to strap on a number and show their stuff on a short and safe lap, all the while close enough to be seen and cheered by their parents. There is no charge for this race, and everyone gets a prize. The course is short, with no steep climbs or descents, suitable for any child that has a pedal bike and a good attitude. Please, no training wheels or tricycles. Not ideal, but possible on a “scoot bike”, with some additional “good attitude”.
On alternate weeks, we offer middle school weeks (April 18, May 2, and May 16 at 5:00PM, at the same $20 registration fee as our adult races), which provide the only organized competitive racing for the growing number of local middle school mountain bike clubs. Middle school races happen every other week, but racers are welcome to race in our 14 years old and under C class on the off weeks.
We invite you and your children of all ages to join us at the Shorty, Marin's only short track mountain bike series.
