Red Bull Race the Place Set to Hit Toronto
After shutting its gates for 2 years, Ontario Place opens up for an unprecedented event.
On April 19th, Red Bull Race the Place will take over Toronto’s iconic island for the first-ever urban cycling race at the site.
This is not the kind of amusement ride you remember as a kid; racers will be taken on a speed-soaked chase through the island’s industrial jungle full of hairpin turns, pedal heavy straight-aways and other urban obstacles.
It will be the first time anyone has accessed Ontario Place since it closed to the public in 2011.
From urban cycle racing's modest start with messengers, to its less-than-legal rise on city streets, the race format has sparked a global movement with Toronto being home to a thriving bike culture all its own.
The competitors´ day starts off with time trials from 10:30am and will go on throughout the day. A vendors village will provide tons of side activities to do for everyone, before all eyes are set on the mass start final starting at 6:30pm.
Admission is free for spectators.
Registration buttons are below, you must be age 18+ to register.
There are two available categories: 1. True Fixed gear/ track bike set up (brakes allowed). 2. Open Category: You dream it, you ride it, as long as there is no motor!
