The Pasadena Senior Games Cycling Event returns after a two-year hiatus with competitions on Tuesday, June 21 and Wednesday, June 22 at the Long Beach’s beautiful El Dorado Park. Pasadena Senior Games is part of a nationwide program of multi-sport Olympic-style athletic events for adults 50+ which culminate in a National Senior Games held every two years.
The June 21 & 22 Cycling event is a state qualifier for the 2023 National Senior Games in Pittsburgh. Pasadena Senior Games are both competitive and inclusive. There is no pre-qualification necessary, and novice competitors are welcome along with elite athletes. Medals are awarded to age categories in five year increments (from 50-54 up to 90+) for men and for women. Professionally run and friendly, Pasadena Senior Games is an annual coming-together of people from around the region that creates community, reinforces a sense of belonging, forges friendships, and sometimes even sets sports records.
Cycling events include:
- 5 K Time Trials
- 10 K Time Trials
- 20 K Road Race
- 40 K Road Race
TEAM SoCalCross, headed by Dorothy Wong, will support the event with race management.
