Prince William County and NOVA BMX have been selected to host the ‘East Coast Nationals’ August 14 – 16, 2020.
- USA BMX last hosted a national event in the County in 2016.
- The Board of County Supervisors recent investment in track refurbishments and lighting enhancements at the county-owned BMX track, leased and operated by NOVA BMX, aided in soliciting the event’s return to the County.
- “On behalf of the Board of County Supervisors, we are pleased to welcome back USA BMX and its thousands of athletes and spectators to Prince William County,” said Ruth M. Anderson, Occoquan District County Supervisor whose district includes the County’s BMX track. “Sporting events such as these are vital to providing new opportunities for county residents while supporting our $619 million tourism economy including the many world-class sports facilities and attractions that call Prince William home,” she added.
- “We are excited to return to Prince William County in 2020 for our East Coast Nationals competition,” stated John David, Chief Operating Officer of USA BMX. ”We plan to work hand-in-hand with the County’s Office of Tourism to attract many out-of-town competitors to make this year’s event one of the biggest yet,” he added.
The Prince William County Office of Tourism in partnership with USA BMX will open a pop-up visitor center at the event to distribute exclusive deals as part of its ‘Show Your Card & Save Program’ to encourage spending at local businesses.
