BicyclistsGenesee County brings two great races back to back for a weekend of bicycle, hand cycle, and kid racing at its finest. On Saturday, July 23, the Fenton community welcomes the Maillot Jaune, a 13-mile road race. On Sunday, July 24, the Flint community embraces its second annual criterium, Le Champion Pavé. 

BicyclistsMaillot Jaune is French for Yellow Jersey, which is the Pinnacle the world’s best riders reach for. The Maillot Jaune Road Race in Fenton, MI is one of the best courses in the State nominated in previous years for inclusion on the National Road Racing Calendar.

Then again, after your morning race workout, you might want to take a dip in one of 58 lakes within a 10-mile radius of Fenton.
