Second Stop of the American Crit Cup will feature top US Pro Racers
SANDY, Utah (June 13, 2025) — Utah’s biggest weekend for bike racing and community celebration is back! The 6th Annual Utah Crits, formerly known as the Salt Lake Criterium, will take over Sandy City on June 14–15, 2025 for two days of adrenaline-fueled cycling, community celebration, and family-friendly entertainment.

As the second stop on the American Crit Cup, Utah Crits attracts the nation’s top professional cyclists—many of whom will be racing for crucial series points and their share of a $100,000 prize purse. The event will feature fast, high-energy criterium-style bike races on closed city streets, designed to deliver maximum action for spectators.
Day 1 – Saturday’s races will take place at the Sandy Promenade. The day kicks off with a 5K fun run in the morning, followed by a full schedule of amateur cycling races, youth events, and fan-friendly entertainment. Spectators can explore the interactive expo, grab a bite from local food trucks, and enjoy live music and giveaways throughout the day. The fast, flat course makes it easy to catch the action from just about anywhere.
Day 2 – Sunday’s racing shifts to the streets surrounding America First Field, where the course features long straightaways, technical corners, and a slight elevation gain—ideal for intense racing and exciting sprint finishes. Fans can stroll through the Low Rider Bike Show, check out more local vendors, and settle in for the final showdown: the professional men’s and women’s races, where top riders from around the country compete for critical American Crit Cup points and series standing. This is the day to see the best of the best go all out.
“We want this weekend to be just as thrilling for the community as it is for the athletes,” said Eric Gardiner, event director and founder of Utah Crits. “There’s something for everyone—whether you’re a cycling fan, a family looking for a fun day out, or a local business wanting to get involved.”
Admission is free for all spectators, and the entire course is accessible for viewing. Community members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, cowbells, and energy to cheer on the riders as they fly past at speeds topping 30 mph. Local Sandy businesses are invited to support the event by hosting the Friday Shakeout Ride, an informal meet-up and ride with visiting pro cyclists, and participating in early packet pickup events.
