The Joe Martin Stage Race isn't just for bikes anymore! All Wheels Welcome, a new fan experience for spectators on all sorts of wheels, will take place from 12-4pm on Sunday, May 21st. The freshly minted finish line celebration is presented by Downtown Fayetteville Coalition, an initiative of Experience Fayetteville.
All Wheels Welcome will facilitate a series of fun alternatively wheeled activites, right in the middle of the action at the Fayetteville Criterium, the final stage of the Joe Martin Stage Race! The Fayetteville Criterium itself is a thrilling and fun experience for spectators, with close-up cycling action all day on Sunday, as riders zip by at high speeds through the streets of downtown Fayetteville. The addition of the new All Wheels Welcome will make this year's finish line even more electric while providing a space that is free and suitable for all ages and abilities!
You can expect to see:
- A pop-up skatepark with local roller skaters and skateboarders - and the opportunity to join in, if you wish!
- Pickleball (wheelchair accessible!) with members of the Ozark Adaptive Sports Association
- The Wheel Mobile by Community Creative Center, completely with pottery demonstrations and tours
- Trike racing, for adults. On adult sized trikes.
- Remote controlled car racing
- Music and vendors on-site with watch parties at local businesses
