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)

Christmas Circle Park Borrego Volunteer-Run Community Park

May 14, 2026
Volunteer-Run Community Park Christmas Circle Community Park sits at the center of Borrego Springs and remains one of the most recognized public spaces in the area. The park was established in the early 1950s when the DiGiorgio family donated the land in honor of Alphonse A. Burnand, tying the space directly to the early development of Borrego Springs. A Park Run by Volunteers Today, the park is managed by a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization led by a volunteer board of directors. The organization is supported through grants and donations from both residents and visitors who use the park. Jeff Sloan, president of the board, said, “There’s a group of people who really love the park and they put their effort into making it a wonderful place to visit.” What It Takes to Maintain the Park Maintaining Christmas Circle is an ongoing responsibility. The board oversees landscaping, lawn care, tree trimming, and water management to keep the grass maintained throughout the year. The park also provides regularly cleaned public restrooms, requiring daily attention and consistent upkeep.
