Ken Woods Memorial Road Race
The Ken Woods Memorial road race returns to Cannon Falls, MN at some TBD date after COVID-19 passes. Ken Woods is the first road race of the 2020 season for Minnesota, so it tends to be well attended despite highly variable Spring weather. The race is built around a 21 mile, 4 corner circuit with some flats and some climbing. The event is fully controlled by licensed USA Cycling officials and the corners are marshalled. That means you’ll need to have an active USAC license or purchase a one-day license on-site for $10. Register online for $28 or register on-site for $38.
