More than 150 Competitors from over 11 countries will race The Growler for a share of a $156,000 purse LIVE ON YOUTUBE AND AT THE FESTIVAL.

The 2025 edition of The Growler bicycle road race will be broadcast live, right here at the festival, and on YouTube on Saturday, April 19th, beginning at 11:00AM Pacific Time.

Please join us in welcoming professional commentators Matt Stephens and Hannah Walker to our Windsor-based studio where they will call the race as it happens, and partake in the first return of long-distance live bike race broadcasting in the United States since the final edition of the Amgen Tour of California took place in 2019.
