The Belgian Waffle Ride (BWR) continues to redefine gravel cycling in 2025 with the launch of the Quad-Tripel Crown of Gravel Series and a thrilling new venue for the legendary Belgian Waffle Ride California (BWR CA) at the breathtaking Del Mar Polo Fields.

This iconic event, located near the ocean and Del Mar Fairgrounds, just minutes from the San Diego airport, will host Southern California's largest cycling festival from April 25-27, 2025.

The festival features a weekend of diverse cycling events, including the 14th Annual BWR CA (the Unroad Race), the inaugural Belgian Waffle Run, and the all-new Belgian Waffle Roadie-Oh, a grand fondo road event. These events will  benefit Curebound in support of cancer research.
