About this event
Whittier Narrows BMX invites first-time riders and families to a free USA BMX Racing League Open House on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at its dirt BMX track inside Whittier Narrows Recreation Area in South El Monte. This two-hour introduction lets prospective riders try BMX racing in the same supportive, small-group format used by the five-week fall league. The organizer says bike and helmet rentals are free, so newcomers do not need race equipment to participate; the live official registration form includes a $0 Open House option and asks whether a loaner bike or helmet is needed. The session is designed for brand-new riders and families, with licensed USA BMX coaching focused on track comfort, basic riding skills, gate starts, and the rhythm of a BMX race. Register in advance through the active USA BMX/RedPodium form and select Open House ($0.00). Riders must be at least age 3 by the league start date shown in the form; the associated youth league serves boys and girls ages 3-17, while a parent-rider option is for adults 18+ who have a child registered. The follow-on five-week league runs October 24-November 21 and costs $149 for youth or $109 for a participating parent; it includes instruction, a league jersey, Mongoose number plate, annual USA BMX membership for new riders, awards, and a pizza party. Those league fees are context only: this October 10 Open House is free. The track is outdoors and weather-sensitive, so check @whittiernarrowsbmx before traveling. Numeric capacity, a waitlist, an Open House registration cutoff, and a rain date are not published.
