Who:
Pro racing is a dazzling sport that can only be fully appreciated in person. The roar of a motorcycle and shrill blasts from the course marshals’ whistles announce the approach of the racing pack. The racers fly by, a brightly colored blur so close that you could reach out and touch them. They kick up enough wind to blow your hair back on a calm day. You hear the buzz of their chains and clicks as they shift gears. Shoulder to shoulder and wheel to wheel, hard physical contact between pro racers is common and the risk of a sudden crash is ever present.
Here this young cyclist at the North Star Bike Festival‘s kids bike race, in Stillwater, MN found it more enjoyable to walk up the hill she was approaching, rather then struggling to ride.

The Green Line is bringing people to the Union Depot terminus, the Saint Paul Saints are playing in their new CHS Field and many new restaurants and pubs have appeared. Lowertown is a very happening place and we are thrilled to be back.

“We are so grateful to North Memorial Health Care and PreferredOne for stepping up to the plate and saving this important cycling event,” said Festival Director David LaPorte. “The festival has been a crucial part of the Midwest cycling community and USA Cycling’s National Racing Calendar for 17 years and it would be a real shame to lose it.

“North Memorial Health Care is thrilled to partner with PreferredOne to support this popular festival in Minnesota, where we are known for our enthusiasm for biking and trails,” says J.

The North Star Grand Prix, the most prestigious event on the USA Cycling National Racing Calendar, opens June 17 in Saint Paul with a morning time trial along East River Parkway. The action moves to Downtown Saint Paul’s Lowertown area that evening with a criterium (short circuit race). The Lowertown arts district has been rejuvenated with the new St. Paul Saints ballpark and the renovation of the Union Depot, which serves as the terminus of the Green Line light rail, connecting downtown Saint Paul to Minneapolis.
On Thursday, the race moves south to Cannon Falls for a rural road race showcasing the wide open spaces of Minnesota’s heartland, dotted with family farms, boutique wineries and the famed Cannon Valley Trail. The race finishes with multiple laps at high speeds through the quaint downtown. On Friday, it’s back up to Minneapolis for an evening criterium in the city’s dynamic Uptown area, a neighborhood of trendy shops, bars and restaurants located just south of downtown near the chain of Minneapolis lakes. The Uptown edition of the FREE Park Dental Tour de Kids fun race is always a highlight with hundreds of kids 12 and under riding the crit route, cheered on by thousands of spectators. Each child gets a free medal.
The weekend presents an opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful terrain in the Midwest for the Menomonie and Stillwater stages. Cheer for the pros in the North Star Grand Prix as well as locals competing in the amateur races. In Menomonie the road race tests the cyclists’ endurance as they traverse 95 miles of rolling farmland in the heart of Wisconsin’s dairy country, finishing with multiple laps of an in-town circuit. Menomonie will host amateur races in town and events introducing visitors to the arts, historic sites and friendly, family-owned shops and restaurants.
Stillwater, Minn. is host to Sunday’s grand finale June 21. The Stillwater Criterium is legendary for weeding out the field, which features a 24 degree climb up Chilikoot Hill – the steepest in North American racing. This picturesque town is built on the bluffs of the St. Croix River and the route features a series of high speed, downhill 90 degree turns throughout the city’s historic neighborhoods and charming Main Street area. Make plans for a Father’s Day brunch at a riverfront restaurant or grab a treat at one of the town’s plentiful ice cream shops or candy stores along the way.
Fan Zones set up at each stage include food vendors, live music, bike and fitness expos and The FREE Park Dental Tour de Kids fun race open to children age 12 and under.
