17 weeks of fast, fun, supportive criterium racing at Tunney's Pasture, alternating A and B events with dedicated programming for women.
A Race — for experienced racers (U23, Elite, Master 1+). ~60 minutes + 5 laps. Fast, tactical, competitive.
B Race — for developing riders building confidence and skills. ~45 minutes + 3 laps. First 15 minutes at controlled pace (35–40 km/h), with coaching support available.
Women's Learn to Race (LTR) — 30-minute session at 6:30 PM before select B races, focusing on drafting, cornering, and positioning. Riders may continue into the B race afterward.
Registration: by Sunday midnight before each race — no day-of registration. Adult Series $160 / Single $25; U18 Series $100 / Single $20. U18 registration · 18+ registration.
License required: UCI/CCA or Ontario Cycling (Challenge or Compete). Quebec Citizen Permits are not accepted.
Bikes: standard road bikes raced under UCI/OCA regs — drop bars, front and rear brakes, non-fixed hub, no aero extensions. Most all-road and gravel bikes are eligible too, though slick road tires are strongly recommended for cornering. Fixed-gear bikes are not permitted.
Spectators welcome — free for everyone. The course is about 1 km long, with several good vantage points; it's easy to move between them to see different parts of the racing. A great way for new cyclists to immerse themselves in the local race community.
Volunteers: series riders complete 2 marshal shifts; required after 3 single-race entries. First Aid responders are also needed each race night (6:15–7:45 PM, $25 Cyclery gift card per shift).
The course remains open to traffic — follow marshal instructions at all times.
