Where2Play
The latest edition in our growing Where2Play (W2P) series blazes a trail through some of the most dynamic and diverse competition spaces in the country. Where2Play: Tracks & Courses explores the venues powering track & field events, cross-country meets, BMX competitions, mountain biking races and more. Whether it’s an elite-level stadium, a wooded trail system or a purpose-built BMX course, this guide brings together destinations that go the distance for both athletes and organizers.
As with every edition of the W2P series, our goal is to simplify your event planning journey. Whether you’re hosting a high school invitational, a collegiate cross-country championship or a national cycling event, this guide is built to help you quickly locate the facilities best suited for your event’s needs. From synthetic tracks and certified cross-country routes to pump tracks and rugged terrain parks, these venues reflect a mix of innovation, accessibility and scenic appeal.
This new edition also offers a trio of features, exploring how world-class events are built from the ground up and why they matter. Whether it’s IRONMAN’s cutting-edge innovations in athlete care, Eugene’s deep-rooted identity as “TrackTown,” or the community-powered rise of BMX across America, these stories spotlight the planning, passion and people driving U.S. sports forward. Together, they offer a look inside not just how events are hosted, but how they shape athletes, energize cities and inspire the next generation.
Where2Play: Tracks & Courses celebrates the facilities shaping today’s competitions and tomorrow’s champions. We’re proud to help you discover them.
We hope you enjoy this new edition—and as always, happy planning!
