Monuments of Cycling (MoC), a premier cycling events producer best known for its iconic Monument of Gravel, the Belgian Waffle Ride (BWR), has announced its expanding BWR calendar for 2025. The popular Belgian Waffle Ride (BWR) events continue to grow in 2025 with an expansion of the marquee BWR CA along with a new event in Bozeman, Montana. Additionally, BWR is launching the Quad-Tripel Crown of Gravel Series, an omnium series combining the four BWR events.
Inspired by Belgian classic road races, BWR started as an “un-road” race over 10 years ago in Southern California and takes riders across a series of hard-pack, gravel, and other terrain, as well as plenty of tarmac. Since then BWR has grown into a series with events across North America, each offering a completely unique course and terrain.
BWR CA, the original BWR event, is relocating in 2025 to a new location at the Del Mar Polo Fields at Surf Sports Park near the San Diego airport. The new venue will allow for an expanded festival and weekend of events April 25-27. Beyond the BWR races, weekend festivities include a new 5km costume run and a new gran fondo event called the Belgian Waffle Roadie-Oh that consists of 100-mile, 100-kilometer, and 50-kilometer options. The larger venue will also host a race expo with 75 vendors.
The expansion provides many more options for cyclists and non-cyclists alike to enjoy the weekend in the San Diego area. And the festival is donating some proceeds to Curebound, a nonprofit supporting cancer research.

Join the Belgian Waffle Ride Festival
The Belgian Waffle Ride Festival, happening April 25-27, 2025, is more than just a weekend of epic endurance—it’s a celebration of grit, camaraderie, and giving back. Whether you’re looking to test your legs, support a great cause, or just revel in the spectacle, this is the event you won’t want to miss.
Saturday kicks off with the BWRun 5K, where runners will not only challenge themselves but also raise vital funds for Big Table, an organization dedicated to supporting hospitality workers in crisis. Those who prefer two wheels can roll into the Belgian Waffle Roadie-Oh, a scenic and spirited Gran Fondo-style ride designed for fun over suffering.
Then, Sunday delivers the main event—the Belgian Waffle Ride (BWR)—an untamed test of skill, endurance, and willpower that riders will conquer while raising funds for Curebound, a nonprofit accelerating cancer research.
Whether you’re in the saddle or on the sidelines, the Lost Abbey Beer Garden will be buzzing with energy as fans cheer on the riders, toast to their efforts, and soak up the festival vibes. With live music, an expansive vendor expo, waffles, beer, and a VIP experience, this is more than just a race—it’s a movement. Run it, ride it, or just raise a glass—whatever you do, don’t miss it.
