Why are there no road races in the United States?
Contrary to the notion, there are indeed road races in the United States, but they aren't as prevalent or as widely recognized as those in other countries. This is primarily due to strict legal regulations and safety concerns that make organization and execution of these races quite challenging. Additionally, the vastness of the US terrain and the cost involved in shutting down public roads for races contribute to their scarcity. High insurance costs and the risk of legal issues if accidents occur also play a part. Yet, despite these hurdles, certain professional and amateur road races do take place, attracting a niche audience.
