Born in the late 80’s at the Black Diamond Trails about 45min south of Seattle, a local legend “Wick” and his brother “Stiff” created a Wed Night Race series under “Stiff Wick Productions”. It became the “Wednesday Night World Championships”.
A few years later, WNWC moved to South SeaTac/Des Moines Creek Park where it remained for about 20 years. Sometime around 2010, a detention center was put on that property and the races were forced to move to North SeaTac Park, just north of the Airport. The series fizzled and dropped off the radar for a few years.
In 2014, Russell Stevenson picked up the stings and resurrected the brand . Since then, Wed Night Worlds has grown to become an iconic Seattle area bike racing institution. A place Mountain Bikers gather to ride, laugh and commune.
Russell Stevenson is the Race Director of WNWC. Russell is a World and National Champion cyclocrosser who mostly rides bikes with motors now. Don’t let his fancy credentials fool you–he makes a great playlist and won’t let you take this all too seriously.
We have a fine crew who will make you smile as you cross the finish line.
