Established in 1974, Sarasota is the oldest continuously running BMX track in America.  Over those many years it has hosted countless state, regional and national races.  A cornerstone of Florida BMX racing, Sarasota BMX has worked with the former National Bicycle League, the former Sunshine State Association, Sunshine State BMX, and USA BMX.

The track has hosted the Strider World Championships from 2011 to 2013 – bringing smiles to age 5 and under riders from all over the planet.  The Sarasota Track Team has won the Florida Commissioner’s Cup six years in a row.  In 2016 the track underwent construction to become Sarasota BMX Supercross where it now hosts UCI World Cup, USABMX National, & Florida State races.
