Utah City Crits July 1-4

Utah City Crits History and Plan

The Racing:

A criterium, more commonly referred to as a “crit”, is a short, closed-loop, road cycling race traditionally held in an urban setting.  Unlike a typical road race where riders go from point A to point B, a crit course is short and circuitous.  This allows spectators to see the racers over and over again and observe the racing action as it unfolds!

Midvale – Friday, July 1^st: Located in old downtown Midvale, this venue is a fast, four corner criterium and should be a real crowd pleaser.  The course will start and finish on Old Main Street, with a left turn on Smelter St, Stagg St, Center St, and back to Main St.

Lehi – Saturday, July 2^nd: Located adjacent to I-15 near the Lehi Roller Mills, this venue is best for breakaway riders with its long straight-aways.  The course will start and finish on 1000 East, with right hand turns on 7330 West, 850 East, and back to 1000 East.

Bountiful – Sunday, July 3^rd: In the heart of Bountiful, this will be a flat, four corner rectangular course that will provide thrills and chills as riders try to out sprint each other for the win.  The course will start and finish on Main Street with left hand turns on 300 South, 200 West, 100 South and back to Main Street.

Holladay – Monday, July 4^th: With a start/finish on Holladay Blvd, this course incorporates a hill climb on 4500 South, a descent down 2300 East and a wicked turn on to Laney Avenue back onto Holladay Blvd.  This course has something for every racer.

OZONE Crit's Challenge - The Venues

Pleasant Grove  - Thursday, June 9th:  The Pleasant Grove course is just shy of a mile coming in at .83 of a mile.  It will shoot throughout the neighborhoods of Pleasant grove as well as the campus of  Pleasant Grove High school, the community center and the city swimming pool areas.  Riders will find this course fairly technical as it has some very tight turns with a slight uphill finish.

Draper - Wednesday, July 13th: TBD

Lindon -  Wednesday, August 10th:  This course takes place in the heart of the neighborhoods in Lindon and is very unique with a quick hill climb right before the finish line that will give the riders an added challenge.  The uphill to the finish will be a great sprint that will exact the neighborhood fans as well as the riders going for the win.  The course is 1.45 miles in length and fairly flat.  You will have people from the neighborhood sitting out on their lawns cheering as you race by each time!
