Event Details

Last year’s competition featured two days of racing in Cummings Research Park (CRP), the second-largest research park in the nation and fourth largest in the world. We will return there for time trials and road races, but race planners are adding something new for the Rocket City this year: hand-cycle team relays in downtown Huntsville! This will pit nation against nation, racing around Big Spring Park. Think U.S. vs. Canada, Mexico, and more — you don’t want to miss this! All three days of racing are open to the public and no tickets are needed. The events are rain or shine.

Here’s what to expect on the three event days:

• Friday, April 8: Hand-cycle Relays around Big Spring Park, downtown
• Saturday, April 9: Time Trials in Cummings Research Park
• Sunday, April 10: Road Races in Cummings Research Park

The 2021 Para–cycling event was considered a qualifying race for the Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, and was somewhat limited due to the pandemic. This year’s event is a C1 classification, open to international athletes.  We expect 150-200 athletes and their families and support teams to attend, including athletes from around the United States, neighboring countries and possibly Europe.
