Each branch of the JDRS aims to grow junior racing by developing long-term partnerships with race organizers who will create safe and fun racing opportunities for boys and girls, young men and women. The program also seeks to identify potential cycling talent among junior athletes and act as a pipeline for our regional talent ID camps.
