Started in 2019, Salt Lake Criterium is already busy preparing for the 4th annual event in 2023 which features two days and two locations of crit racing on the pro and amateur level at INDUSTRY SLC in downtown SLC and at Sugarhouse Park in the Sugarhouse neighborhood. America has a rich history of criterium racing, a unique form of cycling that stresses high-speed races contested amidst a thriving urban atmosphere.  Criteriums are the most spectator-friendly and enduring form of bicycle racing in America. Locally originated events combine the highest levels of cycling with community gatherings and street festivals, while showcasing some of America’s most vibrant downtown districts.
