Raceway Rally
CAMBr’s race series will be leading off with the 2nd annual mountain bike race at Raceway Woods on July 28. Part of a (3) race series including the Paul Douglas Pursuit and the Palos Meltdown, the Raceway Rally will test your riding skills over some of the best single-track trails in the Midwest. This is a spectator-friendly venue so bring the whole family along to cheer you on! Raceway Woods is conveniently located in Carpentersville, IL just 2 miles north of I-90 on Rt. 31 and only 40 miles from downtown Chicago. There are race categories for everyone. Sign up today and get ready to have an absolute blast!
Racers can pick up their racer packet on Saturday July 27, from 12 PM until 3 PM, at Main Street Bicycles, 39 East Main Street, Carpentersville, IL 60110. Race day packet pickup on Sunday is from 7:30AM onward. We recommend Saturday to beat the crowds!
