Corona Heritage Park presents: Corona Road Race History at the Corona Public Library

An historic presentation and discussion about the famous Grand Boulevard Races of Circle City: 1913, 1914 and 1916 

Please join us for a free presentation and light refreshments. 

Have you ever searched Google or pondered....

  • Why did Corona have Races in the early 1900s? 
  • Who participated in the road races?
  • Why did the races happen in Circle City?
  • Why did they only last 3 years? 
  • Who participated in the races?
  • How fast did the cars go in 1913, 1914 or 1916? 
  • How many people came to see the road race? 
  • ...and maybe more?

There's a good chance you'll learn the Who, What, When, Where and Why's during this presentation. 

A local and passionate volunteer will be sharing all the facts, findings and curiosities they've gathered while researching and digging deep to learn about the Corona Road Races for their own edification.
