🔥 What makes Sunday different?

This isn’t a “pack it up and drive home” kind of Sunday. The Rock Hill Rumble is the weekend finale — and every race includes a Breakaway Jackpot to reward riders who go on the offensive.

• Break stays away for the designated lap count → jackpot paid
• No break sticks → jackpot rolls over and grows
• Result: more attacks, real breakaways, nonstop action

⚡ Featured Race Format: Breakaway Jackpot

• How it works: If a breakaway stays away for a designated number of laps, the riders in the break win the jackpot. If there is no winner at the end of the day we roll it over to next year!
• If no break sticks: The jackpot rolls over, growing larger as the day goes on.
• Why it’s great: Encourages real breaks, keeps teams honest, and rewards aggressive racing

Details on lap counts and prize payouts coming soon — we’re committed to staying on the front foot of exciting bike racing.
