If you're not making it to Farmer City, think about making the trip to The Hill BMX Elgin, another track you should be training on to achieve your next Win!
Some people build tracks.
Some people build champions.
Jim McMahon built a family.
Join us as we come together to celebrate the life and legacy of the founder of The Hill BMX—a visionary, mentor, friend, and the heart of a community that has touched generations of riders.
🏁 The Jim McMahon Memorial Race
❤️ ALL riders are welcome
💲 There is NO FEE to race Jim's Memorial Race
Registration opens at 10:30 AM, with practice running until noon. There will be a silent gate drop before the National Anthem in Jim's honor, followed by a day of racing, stories, memories, and celebration.
Before the mains, we will gather for a special ceremony and tribute lap for Jim, remembering the man who believed that BMX was about so much more than winning races.
After racing, the track will remain open for riding in Jim's memory.
Every racer will have the opportunity to earn a commemorative Jim McMahon Memorial Award. Awards will also be available for purchase after racing for $5 while supplies last.
Loaner bikes and helmets will be available on a first come, first served basis.
Whether you raced with Jim, volunteered beside him, grew up at The Hill, or are discovering his legacy for the first time, we invite you to join us.
Let's fill the gate one more time for the man who gave so many of us a place to belong.
Thank you, Jim, for building more than a track...
You built a community, a family, and a legacy that will never fade.
