Help more NYC kids race with the country's best at USA Cycling National Championships!!
These kids are so hungry to compete after the year without racing!
*** Thanks to the generosity of our board, every single dollar you give will be matched, up to 15K 25K***
The USA Cycling Junior National Championships for both Road and Track are returning this summer after a full season lost to the pandemic. Road Nats take place in late-June in Starke, Florida. Track Nats are coming to T-Town in Pennsylvania in mid-July. Star Track needs your help to give young New York City riders the chance to compete at both events and match their skills against the best young racers in the country.
Your donation to the Nationals Fund will provide families assistance with race fees and travel grants, equip riders with bicycles, rent track time to get our kids ready to ride their best, and help defray team coaching, lodging and travel expenses.
With your help, we can eliminate the barriers that keep kids from competing at summer nationals and allow more NYC kids develop their skills, experience the highest levels of junior racing, and pursue competitive excellence. And with our board's fund match, even the smallest donations add up to make a big difference for our racers — We ride because of you.
Go Star Track!

About the program: Star Track is a free, urban youth outreach program created to teach New York City kids the fundamentals of track cycling at Kissena Velodrome in Queens. Founded in 2004, Star Track has helped thousands of children — many from under-resourced areas of the city — discover the joys and benefits of bicycle racing and has been repeatedly designated a USA Cycling Center of Excellence. The Star Track program provides the opportunity to join a competitive cycling team, and Star Track racers have earned an unprecedented 28 National Championship jerseys over the past two years. Star Track is funded entirely by sponsors and private contributions, and thanks to this generous support, the program is fee-free for New York City children aged 8-14.
