Every year on the second weekend in September The Friends of Wompatuck and Bike Barn in Whitman, MA team up to put on one of the premier events in the NORBA Root 66 Race Series. This is the primary fundraiser for the Friends of Wompatuck State Park.

This event is for riders of all abilities and we feature a free kids race for those 12 years old and under who want to join in the fun!

On Saturday the 6th, the short track races will be held in conjunction with NEMBAfest. So come early and enjoy a day of organized rides, music, bike demos and great deals on cycling equipment before racing the short track on Saturday or the x-country race on Sunday.
