Colors and Flavors Trophy

A cycling celebration for the little ones

The Colors and Flavors Trophy is a mountain bike race that turns the Bike Park in Castelletto Cervo—a small town in the Province of Biella, in the heart of Piedmont—into a massive two-wheeled playground for young cycling enthusiasts every spring. Organized by the Cycling Center Asd club, the event is a cross-country (XCO) race reserved for youth categories, ranging from 5-year-olds to 15-year-olds.

The birth of the Bike Park

The Trophy is closely linked to the history of the Castelletto Cervo Bike Park, a facility born from the vision of Mauro Cairati in collaboration with the municipal administration. The first edition, held in September 2023, inaugurated the new facility and saw over one hundred athletes at the starting line. Since then, the event has grown year after year, exceeding 200 participants and becoming a landmark for cycling clubs in the Biella region and throughout Piedmont.

More than just a race

The spirit of the event goes beyond competition: the organizers' stated goal is to inspire a love for cycling in children by offering them a safe place to grow alongside their friends. Thanks to projects like Muse ad Olimpia, many primary school students experience their "baptism on the dirt" here, tackling non-competitive laps guided by expert coaches. The day thus blends athleticism and fun, amidst dust, sunshine, and the contagious enthusiasm of the little ones.

Categories and participants

• PG (First Laps) and MPG categories for the very young
• Giovanissimi G1, G2-G3, G4-G5-G6

An event supported by the local community

The Colors and Flavors Trophy takes place thanks to the support of numerous private sponsors and the contribution of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Biella through their Event Grant. It is a perfect example of how a small Piedmontese community, through the hard work of volunteers and sports clubs, can build an event capable of attracting hundreds of families and sowing a passion for sport among new generations.
