Criterium Racing

Superior Bike FestFriday night sees the return of Marquette’s Twilight Criterium presented by The Landmark Inn. We’re closing the roads and bringing criterium racing to Marquette just the way it should be – racing dead center downtown at twilight. Even the youngsters will have a chance to race their bikes through the streets of downtown Marquette. We have a special race for those 7-12* year olds on the same course everyone else will be racing on. And these young riders race FREE! We want everyone to enjoy the excitement of criterium racing.

We’ll be offering primes during the races as well so come on out and enjoy the excitement of criterium racing.

Races will have bell primes along with awards for the winners in each event. Due to the shortness of the races, the free lap rule will not be in effect. Lapped riders will not be pulled.

*If you have children younger than 7 that can ride the course safely, they're more than welcome. No training wheels though.
