Gaper's Block Criterium Races

Our weeknight beginner racing series returns in 2010 with some upgrades. This year, we have a paramedic on-site during the races for your safety, and we're welcoming women's category 3 racers to join us. Men's fields will retain their 50-rider limit but we will have two 30-minute heats. We will hold ten slots in each heat open for day-of registrants.

Monday-Friday, March 22-26

On-site registration opens at 6:00pm

Calumet Park, Chicago
