In just 75 days from now the 2017 UCI BMX World Championships will be held in Rock Hill.
This exciting international event will be held at Rock Hill’s BMX Supercross Track located at Riverwalk. Riverwalk is an exciting, fast-growing part of Rock Hill that features one of the world’s finest Supercross tracks, and it also attracts cyclists to family-friendly trails and the Giordana Velodrome. The velodrome is another world-class facility for the Olympic sport of track cycling.
