[Flyer]  [Registration]

The Ken Woods Memorial road race returns to Cannon Falls, MN on Saturday, May 11th.  Ken Woods is the first road race of the 2024 season for Minnesota, so it tends to be well attended. The race is built around a 21 mile, 4 corner circuit with some flats and some climbing. The event is fully controlled by licensed USA Cycling officials and the corners are marshalled. That means you’ll need to have an active USAC license or purchase a one-day license while registering for $15.

During the month of March register online for $40, April - $50, May - $60. On-site registration will be available for $60.
