xXx Racing-Athletico is excited to announce the return of the LaBagh Practice Crits for 2024! Crits will run From Tuesday May 7th, through Tuesday July 16th beginning at 6, 30 minutes earlier than years past!

New for 2024! The weeks of May 21st, June 11th, and July 9th will be held at Steelworkers Park! These weeks will be put on by Indigo Cycling.
Women’s Nights are returning this year! Women’s nights will be May 14, May 28th, June 11th, and July 9th. Women race for Free on Women’s nights!
There will be no practice crits the weeks of 6/18 or 7/2.

We will be offering short crit clinics throughout the series. These races are intended to afford new and experienced racers alike an opportunity to develop or dust off pack riding/racing skills. Practice crits are an important tool to introducing riders to the thrill of bike racing, in a less competitive and safer environment. xXx Racing-Athletico is excited to again offer an opportunity for racers to come out and practice crit racing up to as many as three times in one night!

This year we are sticking with the weekend format and racing on Saturday and Sunday! With all the extra daylight this gives us, we are giving equal race time to all categories and opening up the series to Cat 3 racers!
Don’t fret, we are not straying too far from our roots. Skyway will still be focused on giving new racers plenty of experience in a safe and positive environment. This year there will be a 1 hour crit clinic prior to kicking off racing so folks can familiarize themselves with the course and have opportunities to engage with experienced racers. We will also be holding a number of clinics, workouts and Q&A sessions during the weeks leading up to the event. Stay tuned to our socials for more details
This two-day series gives newer racers a low-cost, low-tech, nearby opportunity to try out criterium racing and gain valuable experience, skills, and confidence on safe roads in a low pressure environment. Also its a great way for seasoned racers to stay extra sharp between early season races. Not to mention, the fabulous prizes and primes that await!
