Strider Sports International, the world’s premier no-pedal balance bike manufacturer, is bringing the Strider World Cup™ to San Diego, California for the USA BMX U.S. Nationals on Saturday, June 16th at the Olympic Training Center, 2800 Olympic Parkway, Chula Vista, CA 91915.
The season-long Strider World Cup™ series gives toddlers ages two to five the chance for friendly competition at events across the country. The Strider World Cup race will drop the gate at 11:15am on Saturday, with registration from 7:30 to 9:30am. The whole family can enjoy the Strider experience at the Adventure Zone from 9am to 5pm Friday and Saturday. Toddlers can test ride their favorite Strider on the obstacle course while playing, learning, and socializing with peers on two wheels!
The Strider World Cup will take place at the Olympic Training Center as part of a series of events surrounding the U.S. Olympic Trials for BMX featuring the fastest BMX racers in the world. Be sure to get a spot on the fence for a sneak preview of the same racers who will be in the London Olympics this summer!
USA BMX Strider memberships are available for $25. The membership includes the racer’s first Strider World Cup race and a USA BMX membership card. Participating in a race at any USA BMX National will qualify the racer for the Strider World Championship in Florida at Sarasota BMX this fall.
Strider Sports International CEO Ryan McFarland says, “At Strider, we love seeing really little kids light up with excitement when they get that first taste of freedom, mobility, and adventure that comes from their first bike experience. The USA BMX races are the perfect venue to showcase the Strider World Cup and the Strider Adventure Zone program. We’ve already seen the program spark a passion for riding on two wheels in many children across the country.”
