USA BMX ANNOUNCES LOCATIONS OF THE THREE REGIONAL GOLD CUP CHAMPIONSHIPS - PRESENTED BY DK BICYCLES

 

USA BMX is pleased to announce the host cities for the East, Central and West Gold Cup Championship series  - presented by DK Bikes. The following hand-selected locations will cap off the 2015 Gold Cup series, which began back in January and have been held at over 70 local USA BMX tracks throughout country.

 It is at these regional finals that racers of all ages and skill levels will be competing for the title of USA BMX Gold Cup champion. Winners of each age group will be awarded a Gold Cup jacket, a Gold Cup trophy and the prestigious Gold Cup No.1 numberplate (which the rider can then run on their bike until next years final). 

Champions are easily recognized by the yellow background on their numberplates. Becoming a Gold Cup champion in USA BMX is a much sought-after, and highly respected accomplishment.

“When choosing locations for our three Gold Cup finals, we not only look for a great facility but also a solid partnership in tourism to promote the destination,” said USA BMX’s  Chief Operating Officer John David.  “USA BMX continues to work hand in hand with convention and visitors bureaus and sports commissions to bring a major bike racing competition to their town. We strive to make these events a pleasant and affordable experience for all of our participants.”

This series also could not be produced without the top-notch support of presenting sponsor, DK Bicycles of Dayton, Ohio, and the CVB’s from each stop. USA BMX and its members are looking forward to the season finales at the following locales:
