COURSE DESCRIPTION
Crowds will line the streets of Victory Park to see top US PROS race counter clockwise around American Airlines Center and the posh W-HOTEL in downtown Dallas. The course is a 1500-meter loop featuring smooth, wide, fast roads and an atmosphere unparalleled anywhere in North America. The START/FINISH is located across from the WFAA Channel 8 Studios at the intersection of Houston and Olive Street. Riders begin by heading north up a slight hill past the Victory Tavern and Old No. 7 bar making the first of (4) left turns onto All-Star Way. Traveling less than 150 meters along the north side of the AAC, riders make their next turn onto Victory Ave and head south. With a slight downhill, the race will see speeds in excess of 50mph before turning onto Museum Way. This takes the riders thru the heart of Victory Park and with less than 800 meters to the finish, riders will want to be geared up for the incredible finale. Out of the final turn back onto Houston Street, riders have a clear view of the finish. The final sprint features a 600-meter straight (3-lanes wide) with a slight downhill running thru the finish line.
