Belgian Waffle Ride California 2025 2025 | Fri 25 Apr | Book @ Findarace

The Belgian Waffle Ride California—the one that started it all—is back for its 14th year and bigger than ever! Taking place April 25-27, 2025, this legendary Unroad race has found a new home at the Del Mar Polo Fields at Surf Sports Park, giving riders an epic start and finish near the Pacific Ocean and just minutes from the San Diego airport. The BWR Festival: A Three-Day Celebration of Grit, Gravel, and Good Times: • Friday, April 25: Course previews, registration, and a mega expo with 75 vendors showcasing the latest in cycling gear, tech, and lifestyle. • Saturday, April 26: Introducing the Belgian Waffle Roadie-Oh—a Gran Fondo with routes of 100-miles, 100km, and 50km, offering diverse views from ocean to canyon. Followed by the inaugural Belgian Waffle Run—a spirited 5km dash complete with costumes and the Lost Abbey Beer Garden to unwind. • Sunday, April 27: The main event kicks off with the Belgian Waffle, Wafer, and Wanna Rides, offering varying challenges with minimal traffic and unparalleled views of Del Mar’s coastal and mountain beauty. This isn’t just a race—it’s an odyssey of suffering and celebration, an untamed, irreverent, and utterly ridiculous test of endurance on a course that chews you up and spits you out... but leaves you grinning ear to ear. Expect a punishing blend of gravel, singletrack, tarmac, sand, rocks, and climbs that make you question your life choices. The infamous course will dish out over 130 miles of multi-surface madness with 12,000+ feet of climbing, while the Wafer and Wanna routes deliver equally devious doses of dirt and pain—just in smaller servings. But BWR isn’t just about suffering—it’s about community, chaos, and waffles. Riders from around the world will descend on SoCal for a weekend-long festival packed with group rides, a deep expo, cold beers, and of course, Belgian waffles smothered in syrup and glory. And 2025 is bringing something bigger than ever—the launch of the Quad-Tripel Crown of Gravel, a four-race gauntlet that will separate the gravel legends from the mere mortals. California is the second stop, making it a must-do battleground for those chasing ultimate bragging rights. This is the hardest race you’ll absolutely love—where suffering is the main course, and waffles are dessert. Are you ready to ride?
