Triangle Bello and UNC club plan March criterium in Mebane; exact road-race location still TBD
Summary
A BPAC member and Triangle Bello volunteer said a criterium race is planned for March 14–15, 2026 at the steel distribution center on West 10th, with multiple short, spectator-friendly races expected between about 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; final route and road-race details remain to be confirmed.
A BPAC member who said they are affiliated with the nonprofit cycling club Triangle Bello told the commission that Triangle Bello, working with UNC's cycling club, plans a criterium in Mebane on March 14 or 15, 2026, centered around the steel distribution center on West 10th.
The member described a criterium as a short, fast, circuit-style race designed to draw spectators; the member said events typically run in multiple short heats and suggested the schedule would likely span roughly 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the event day, with categories for collegiate riders and standard age-group fields. The road-race portion of the event has not been finalized and the site remains "TBD," the member said.
The member said the steel facility was supportive of hosting the criterium and that organizers expect multiple races, opportunities for spectators to watch the full course and possible sponsorship support. Members agreed organizers will share more specific times and route details as they are finalized.
Next steps: organizers will confirm exact locations and times and circulate specifics to BPAC members once available.
