About the Venue
The Englewood Open takes place on an active, family owned private farm. To learn more about Englewood Grass Farm, visit englewoodgrassfarm.com.
We are asking everyone to follow a few simple rules to make sure we can keep this party going for years to come.
- Do not touch the fences, they will shock you.
- No Pets Allowed. Because we are concerned for the safety of all our guests and our livestock, we respectfully ask that you leave your pets at home. Also please leave the cows alone and do not open any gates.
- No glass bottles. Broken glass is very dangerous to cattle and very hard to clean up.
- Please keep our farm clean and use the trash bins we will have placed everywhere throughout the venue. We also ask that you leave your race flyers at home.
- Please do not throw used gel packs on the course. Cattle like sugar and electrolytes too, and plastic wrappers can block their digestive tract. This has been an ongoing problem, and if racers are observed intentionally littering, a 5 min penalty will be added to their time. This penalty will be lifted after the offending racer has performed 30 minutes of course cleanup after their race.
- All coaches and non-racers must sign the Coach/Parent waiver online at the registration page on www.bikereg.com/englewood-open BEFORE they are allowed to ride on the property.
Onsite Concessions
Available for purchase throughout the weekend featuring Englewood grass-fed beef burgers, snacks, and drinks.
Cash is preferred as it helps us to keep prices lower and serve you faster.
