Hundreds of racers ages 3-65 will gather at the Charlotte BMX track in Punta Gorda’s Carmalita Park this weekend January 12-14,  2024 for the USA BMX Citrus Nationals. An estimated 600 riders in all age groups from across the United States are anticipated to participate in this year’s competition. About 2,000 family members will accompany them. The event is a partnership with Charlotte BMX, Charlotte County Community Services, and the Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach Visitor & Convention Bureau.
