The Corporate Challenge at the Valley Preferred Cycling
Center has become one of the most popular events of the summer season
since it began nine years ago. This unique event offers your company a terrific
team-building opportunity, the chance to put your corporate logo in front of
at least 2,000 Friday night fans, an introduction to velodrome racing for new
racers or a welcome return for our veterans and on top of all this, it’s just
plain fun!
The Corporate Challenge pits up to 14 teams
together in a round-robin elimination throughout the evening as
teams compete in the Italian Pursuit and scratch races. Each six-person
team includes at least two women and up to four men.
The Italian
Pursuit format features two teams lined up on opposite sides of
the velodrome and they “pursue” each other for six laps. The lead
rider of each team drops off after each lap, leaving only the
final, or anchor rider for each team, to finish the race against
the clock. The best four teams advance to the finals. The remaining
teams may place their top male and female racers in scratch races
during the night for team and company bragging rights. A scratch
race is simply a five-lap, winner-take-all race to the finish.
No
prior racing experience needed! The Valley Preferred Cycling
Center provides
the track bikes, coaching and training time for each team. Teams
train one night per week for four weeks prior to the event.
Only 14
teams will be accepted, so don’t delay

Preferred Cycling Center today to sign up for this
popular event that will build employee morale while promoting
