Rider and Track Sponsorship Program
Mankato Area BMX is a volunteer operated 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing an alternative to traditional sports in the Mankato community for over 30 years. BMX racing is an exciting Olympic sport where athletes race bicycles on a course a quarter mile in length with several obstacles and turns. Our athletes’ range in age from two to sixty-plus years. Everyone competes at their own age and proficiency level.
We run practices every Tuesday and races every Wednesday evening from May through September. Average attendance is 50+ riders at Wednesday races, and 100-150+ spectators in attendance. We also hold one or two weekend events per season. Attendance has been as high as 420 riders and 1500 spectators from throughout the state and region. The BMX community is very loyal, and we encourage them to patronize event sponsors.

- The rider that recruits the sponsorship will be rewarded by receiving their $60 USA BMX membership license renewal free of charge, as well as a practice fee waiver for the entire season.
