About the Event

Experience Queen City Wheels (QCW) Race Day, where every detail is crafted for your enjoyment and safety. This year’s event promises an unforgettable experience with free meals, t-shirts, digital photos, finisher awards, podium honors, and more.
Start your journey on the scenic trails of Cincinnati, known for its challenging yet rewarding terrain that offers a mix of urban and natural landscapes. The race day atmosphere is electric as riders gather at the starting line to receive their welcome packets, including essential forms like the Ohio Division of Natural Resources (ODNR) release form, which must be completed before rider check-in.
Safety is paramount, so minors under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the course. This ensures that everyone has an enjoyable and secure experience on race day.
Don’t miss out on post-race festivities! After crossing the finish line, stick around for the party where top three finishers in each category will receive impressive plaques and professional photos. The event also features a variety of door prizes, including custom tops from Pactimo, to-go beer (subject to availability), and of course, the ever-popular cheese balls!
For all the latest details on this year’s QCW race, visit QCW.org. Riders are encouraged to link their Kroger Shopper's Card to Queen City Wheels for a chance at additional community rewards.
Remember, free t-shirts with entry applications close on August 10th. So sign up now and join us in celebrating the vibrant biking culture of Cincinnati!
