Sarasota Strider Bike Track

The oldest continuously running BMX track in the nation, Sarasota is a favorite spot for racers around the country.  Opened in 1974, it remains one of the largest attended tracks in the state.   Sarasota has hosted many state and national races, including the 2004 President's Cup/Christmas Classic.  

In 2010 work began on the Strider-spec track with an entire team of supporters including Troy Vandergaag, Rick Harvey, Rolf Bostrom & Matt Bishop building the racing venue.  Early in 2011 Strider riders were out on the dirt testing the facilities and providing feedback to the crew. To a racer, they gave a “thumbs up” for the job.

In just a few weeks’ time, racers from across the country will converge in Sarasota for the World Championship. Click here for all the details of this event.
