The Goal
We hope to lay a foundation for an Olympic BMX program based in Des Moines, to attract national and world-wide events, and bring cycling industry jobs and tourism dollars to the entire metro area. Individual nationwide BMX events regularly have economic impacts for host communities in the millions of dollars and Des Moines is well-positioned to become a national cycling destination.
