Criterium bike racing returns to Columbia! Our selected course will take racers through the downtown streets of Columbia and through part of the University of Missouri’s campus.
This 1 mile course has a lot to offer for spectators too, with on-course restaurants and bars. We will have a FREE kids race (10 and under), junior races, masters races, and category races. The women's and men's P/1/2/3 categories will each be racing for substantial prize money. With the help of our awesome sponsors, we will also be able to pay the top racers in the lower categories.
