Prescott College Launches the Roadrunners Cycling Team

Prescott College is embarking on a thrilling new chapter in its sports program with the recent establishment of its cycling team, the Prescott College Roadrunners. This initiative is led by the esteemed Coach Phil Reimer, who brings a wealth of experience as a decorated cyclist and an Olympic-level cycling coach with a reputable history of coaching at Northern Arizona University.

Team Highlights

Under Coach Reimer’s guidance, the Roadrunners have been making their mark in the Mountain Bike Association of Arizona, where they’ve already completed three competitive races. As they gear up for the upcoming seasons, excitement builds around their participation in the Whiskey Off-Road event in their home city of Prescott from April 25-27, followed by races in Flagstaff in May. The Roadrunners are also setting their sights on the Southwest Collegiate Cycling Conference Races, which will commence in late August, giving them the chance to compete across Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.

A Step Forward for Prescott College

"The launch of the Roadrunners cycling team is an invigorating step for Prescott College," shared Dr. Barbara J. Morris, President of Prescott College. She emphasized that this new team aligns with the college's mission to foster interdisciplinary, experiential, and diverse learning environments.
