Help Us Diversify Cycling

The word stamina signifies a sustained physical and mental effort, which is needed in cycling and in social justice. Our team chose to include the words stamina and collective to signify the importance of our sustained work together toward one common objective: increased diversity in competitive cycling.

Approximately 15% of licensed racers in USA Cycling are those in women’s fields. Even fewer riders identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color (BIPOC), with estimates ranging from 8%-10% across all BIPOC groups. The goal of Stamina Racing Collective is to strengthen and diversify the pipeline of women, trans, and non-binary athletes in competitive cycling. Three of the major factors that decrease the participation of cyclists in women's fields include inequitable opportunities, a lack of support from others, and barriers to accessibility. Our team uses a three tiered approach to address these barriers. Our pillars include mentorship, accessibility, and community development.

We are fundraising for Minnesota's Give to the Max Day in order to support our start-up costs and the costs of our first full season of racing and community events. Thank you in advance for your support!
