This annual two-day event takes place in downtown Athens and features a festival of food trucks and performers, all taking place while a number of professional criterium races take off throughout the city. Cyclists fly through the streets as on-lookers enjoy the remarkable food, drink, and music that the Classic City has to offer. The men’s pro-am criterium is an 80K race around historic downtown Athens, while the women’s pro-am criterium measures 40K.
