About This Event
Welcome to Ring Race! A gravel bike race through Grand Rapids Bike Park, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks invites you to compete for fame and glory or cheer on racers! The race is two laps around an old baseball infield and one heck of a good time! Everyone is guaranteed two races with winners moving up and losers dropping down until we crown a champion of the ringer!
Whether you’re a seasoned gravel bike racer or it’s your first time on the track, you’ll enjoy the thrill of the competition and the joy of community at one of Grand Rapids’ most beautiful—and rad—parks.
Race Divisions:
- Men A
- Men B
- Women
- Kids up to 5
- Kids 6 - 10
- Kids 11-15
Races begin at 6:00pm. If you plan to participate as a racer, please arrive to confirm your registration by 5:50pm. Medals will be awarded to the top three cyclists in each category.
Celebrating Biking with Art
All our events like Ring Race are free thanks to the power of community. If you’d like to support future free community events by making a financial gift of $25 or more (you’ll have the option during event registration), we’d like to say “thank you” with a poster from our Park Exploration poster series!

Any gifts made on-site qualify to receive a poster as a thank you! Please note we encourage online donations as we cannot make or keep change.
We 🫶 Exploring Our Parks with You
