The Strider Adventure-Cross is for all the 14x riders ages 4-7 years old and combines running, riding in balance bike mode, and pedaling all in one awesome race! This is a test of endurance and skill with a longer course that covers a wide variety of obstacles including tires, the noodle monster, the dragon, a tunnel, and Mount Scary Ramp! There are four stages in this dynamic race, one of which includes a pit stop where a guardian attaches the pedal kit to the 14x so the racer can pedal power through the finish line. An epic day for both racer and spectator, the Strider Adventure-Cross should be on the top of every rowdy toddler’s bucket list.

Plus, there will be a special appearance happening in the Square at 5:00 pm prior to the Strider Adventure-Cross race when World Champion Kenny Belaey and legend Hans “No Way” Rey will show off their mad bike skills with an exclusive Trials Demonstration.

The Strider Adventure-Cross race is a unique Strider take on a Cyclocross race but with a few fun twists! 

This race is only for racers age 4-7 years old (on June 18th, 2022) on Strider 14x Sport bikes. The race is broken up into two different classes 4 and 5-year-old class and the 6 and 7-year-old class. There will be those two different classes but run at the same time.

No Strider 12″ bikes are allowed due to how this particular race will be run. Check out the Strider Cup for races that include the 12″ Strider Bike.

Unlike some of our other races, this is a race of endurance over a longer period of time and skill a lot like a Cyclocross race!  It will be a somewhat difficult course so please be sure that your racer is up for this challenge.  

The course will have a wide variety obstacles and challenges where the racer may have to dismount and lift their Strider Bikes over something to be able to keep going. We are expecting this could take as long as 20 to 30 minutes to complete. There will be sections of the course that will be done in laps.
