Our finale stage – the newly relocated and renamed downtown course for 2024 brings racing centerstage to the hottest neighborhood in Chicago, The Fulton Market Grand Prix in the heart of The Fulton Market District
Howard Orloff Volvo and xXx Racing together showcase a new four-corner crit that will allow for speed and tight corners while flying by spectators in the busy entertainment district and beneath the famous elevated ‘L’ train. The new location will bring high energy from the neighborhood and put an awesome cap on Chicago Grit.
