Support Borrego’s World Time Trial Championships

Share

Get Involved in Borrego’s Premier Cycling Event

The 6-12-24 Hour World Time Trial Championships return to Borrego Springs from November 1-3, bringing 250 racers and their crews. Local businesses and volunteers are invited to get involved through sponsorships or helping at the event, strengthening Borrego's role in this exciting competition.


Here’s how you can participate:



For just $250, local businesses can have a 3”x5” flyer included in each racer’s packet and receive two social media promotions: one on the 6-12-24 Hour World Time Trial Championships Facebook page (3,800 followers) and another on the Race Across America (RAAM) page (67,000 followers). The first post will run before the event, and the second in spring prior to RAAM, when many racers return to Borrego Springs to train.


Sponsorships can be paid via cash, check, or, for restaurants, gift cards that can be used by event staff. This is a unique chance to advertise to a highly engaged audience of cyclists who frequent Borrego Springs.


  • Business Sponsorships: $250 for a flyer in racer packets and social media promotion on event pages with thousands of followers.


  • Volunteer Opportunities: Assist with racer check-ins, packet distribution, and timing.


  • Friday, Nov 1: 11am - 3pm (4 volunteers)
  • Saturday, Nov 2: 12pm - 3pm (2 volunteers)
  • Sunday, Nov 3: 7am - 9am (3 volunteers)

Borrego Cheers for Lukas!

June 6, 2025
Community Rallies Behind Austrian Cyclist Training for RAAM  You might have seen a focused cyclist zipping around Borrego Valley over the past few weeks. That rider is Lukas Kaufmann , a world-class athlete from Austria who’s chosen Borrego Springs as his training ground for the upcoming Race Across America (RAAM) —a 9-day, coast-to-coast endurance race starting June 10 in Oceanside and finishing June 19 in Atlantic City. Track his ride here: trackleaders.com/Team_Kaufmann While Peter Kellner was also out riding with his wife Tammy Baker , he spotted Lukas and could tell right away he wasn’t just another visitor getting in a few desert miles. Peter tracked him down, learned his story, and turned that curiosity into action. The result? A spontaneous community celebration: “Borrego Cheers for Lukas!”

New Recording Studio Completed for Borrego Springs Youth Music Program

June 1, 2025
Community nonprofit completes construction phase, seeks funding for equipment The Borrego Springs Music Festival and its educational arm, the Borrego Academy of Music & Art (BAMA), have completed construction on a new recording studio in downtown Borrego Springs. The buildout included soundproofing and a technician window, with oversight provided by John Young, BAMA’s Technical Director and Vice President of the board. The studio is the latest milestone in the organization’s mission to provide music education to youth in a region where none of the local schools—elementary, middle, or high school—offer a formal music program. Borrego Springs serves a population of approximately 2,500 residents, and 87% of the 358 enrolled students in the school district are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. John Young, a 34-year science center veteran and longtime volunteer, helped launch the studio space as part of his ongoing work with the music festival and its education efforts. He also teaches courses in piano, digital recording, and technology.
