Criterium bicycle racing, or Crit racing, is a short (less than 2 miles) lapped circuit race, making it an ideal and exciting spectator sport. We like to say it’s a bike race surrounded by a big party, Cancun style! We want to become the NASCAR of road cycling.

 

Racers, often on teams, hit speeds exceeding 35 mph in a tight pack as they pedal laps through the streets of the circuit. There is a lot of strategy, as they work together to help each other and position for huge sprints and exciting wins.

 

You’ll even see a “race within a race” as bonus laps called primes are offered up several times throughout. Crit Cancun is looking to attract Mexican and international top talent to compete at this race with all the spirit and soul of the Caribbean.

 

​​Crit racing is always exciting for everyone, but Cancun crowds always bring that extra energy, that will make you feel competing at the best cycling scenarios of the world, being you the star.
