BIG. CRIT. ENERGY.
10 RACES IN 10 DAYS WITH TIGHT CORNERS + INSANE SPEED + A PARTY ATMOSPHERE = BIG. CRIT. ENERGY.
In case you missed it – after 11 years of racing under our former name…we changed our name. But that’s really all that changed. We’re keeping the awesome courses you’ve come to love, the tight corners, adrenaline-filled race atmosphere, and epic block parties.
WHY CHICAGO GRIT?
We wanted a new name that reflects the spirit of our riders who are badass and full-send, as well as the communities in which we are fortunate to race. We knew Chicago had to be in the name, and we liked the word Grit – because that’s what you need to race 10 days of full-send criteriums on technical courses.
2025RACE UPDATES
In 2025 we’ll be celebrating 14 years of racing in and around Chicagoland!

@bradsohner was busy so we hired his Temu knockoff 😂. 10 Races. 10 Days. If you’re not racing this year, are you even living?
No. No, you’re not.
You’re not only missing the races- but the epic adventures and epicer (more epic?) drama that make Crit racing… well, Crit racing.
What other race series gives you this kind of diversity? One day you’re racing through the suburbs of Lake Bluff, and the next you’re roping under the freaking L Train in the gritty streets of Fulton Market.
