An opportunity to welcome racers from around the world will also be featured at the Annual Parade of Nations, where each participating country is announced and welcomed. This year it will be at the London Bridge Resort Convention Center.

“There is no other event that brings so many countries in the same area other than the Olympics,” said Kay Sykes, Coordinator of the parade. “It’s not like a typical parade that you expect to see on the street, it is more of a gathering where everyone can meet and greet and welcome all the countries and its racers that travel to compete here.”
