MFG in the News

David Jaewon Oh of Chum News reported on the Woodland Park GP, 2025!

Here’s a quote: I thought I was familiar with covering endurance sports. I’ve taken photos at marathons, gravel races, bike rides around the city, and stuff like that. The race was nothing like that. The race was just so removed from what I’ve experienced in the past — in a really delightful sense. I’d have never thought this was happening on the other side of Green Lake.

Thank You

2025.

What a season.

Thank you.

Thank you for all you have done to make MFG this season a fantastic, welcoming, heckling, crazy, community of bike lovers.

We have immense gratitude for everyone who came out this year to smile, sweat, cheer, heckle, unload & load box trucks, tape miles of course, set up tens of thousands of stakes then take them down and stuff them into bags & trucks, set up team tents, welcome newbies and lead preview laps, manage timing, serve as crossing guards, narrate, entertain and humor everyone over our PA system, coach, wrangle kids, take dazzling photos, light up our socials, register over 3500 total race entries, manage staging, starts, podiums, and parking, fix last minute bike issues, mend cuts and bruises, and bring more cowbell. It truly takes a village and we appreciate everyone who plays a part in MFG.

And in 2025, we are once again earth’s biggest cyclocross series (…by a mile).

We wish you a wonderful holiday season and hope to see you next year.

The MFG team: Chris, Erik, Mike and Blaine

FAREWELL TO RUSSELL STEVENSON AND WEDS NIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Off Camber Productions & MFG bids a fond farewell to Russell Stevenson.

Russell has decided to make a career change and will be leaving Off Camber starting in January 2024.

In addition, Wednesday Night World Championships will no longer be run by Off Camber Productions. Russell will be running Weds Night Worlds with his great team of staff and volunteers.

Since December 2021 when Russ joined Off Camber and brought Wednesday Night World Championships into our partnership, the five of us have become a well-oiled machine putting on 20+ bike races a year. A hard-working, stake-pounding, lover of bike racing, Russ has been an amazing partner in our venture. We’ve had a blast together working to grow the bike racing community in Seattle and the PNW and we’ll miss Russ as a teammate.

Going forward, Off Camber will continue to lead the way running MFG, the biggest cyclocross series in the country, and offering adventurous gravel events in the Cascades.

MFG Takes the Podium (for a second year)

Hold on to your hats folks… lots of kudos for Woodland Park… 
The Woodland Park GP was: 

Thank You To our Kick-ass Hand Raisers

What’s a hand-raiser? Someone who raises their hand to help. Hand-raisers say yes. At races, we are constantly asking for help… hey, can you run this to the timing stage? Can you fix that tape? Set up that tent? Grab coffee for the announcers? There are a million little jobs and these folks raise their hands to make it all work.

It takes a village to put on a cyclocross race. And we have a great village of hand-raisers.

We have so many people to thank. These are folks that showed up race after race to help. Getting up at 4am to meet us at 6am to set up course. Hanging out until after dark to help tear everything down and pack our van and trailer. Helping with starts, podiums, beginner clinics, timing, registration, taking photos, posting to socials, hauling garbage, designing swag, and everything else in between.

The list below are folks that volunteered for at least 3 races (or have some other huge job). There are ONE HUNDRED more people that volunteered for one or two races. We couldn’t list them all but… Wow! What a village. A few of the folks below are paid staff. Most are volunteers. We are immensely gracious to everyone below and the one hundred others who pitched in! And there are folks I’m sure we’ve missed. (Please let us know if there’s someone who should be on this list.)

Thank You

A big thank you and hug to everyone below from the MFG team – Blaine, Russell, Erik, Mike and Chris. 😍
