The Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Criterium, the “Crit”, is a closed-circuit, multi-lap cycling race through Downtown Spartanburg! This bike race puts a sweet southern SPIN on the traditional tailgate and turns the heart of the city into a one of a kind block party. Rent a tent, bring your friends, and load up your tailgating gear to watch cyclists race around the half-mile downtown course. The Crit consists of 6 races, 4 amateur and 2 professional.
