Contact Info: More Information: The Soldier Field Cycling Series is a developmental cycling series consisting of three criterium style bicycle races. The goal of the SFCS is to showcase the cyclists of tomorrow, grow the sport and expose it to new eyes. While most bike races take place surrounded by cornfields or suburban sprawl, our series stands out by being the only cycling series of its type to take place in an urban center. We want to give Chicago area cyclists an opportunity to race on their home turf, in front of co-workers, friends and families. We have kept entry fees reasonable to encourage participation. We have also waved all fees for junior racers, in the hope of attracting and cultivating the future stars of the sport. Our World Class venue offers participants the opportunity to race on Chicago’s Lakefront and in the shadow of it’s magnificent skyline. The Soldier Field Cycling Series will provide spectators with convenient access to America’s most popular style of bicycle racing, the criterium. This is a USA Cycling Sanctioned Event, so all USA Cycling rules will apply to the races. RACE CATEGORIES/ TIMES/ DURATION Women Open 6:15 p.m. Men 4/5 – 30 min 6:55 p.m. Men 4/5 – 30 min Men Pro 1/2/3 7:35 p.m. Men 1/2/3 – 60 minutes |
