Rockstar Games is proud to announce the
return of the Red Hook Criterium Championship Series in 2017, now
enjoying its 10th consecutive year as the world’s premier track
bike criterium.

- April 29: Red Hook Criterium Brooklyn,
NY, USA;
- July 22: Red Hook Criterium London,

- September 2: Red Hook Criterium

"This year marks a special moment in the history of the Red Hook
Crit with the 10-year anniversary of the first race in Brooklyn,”
said David Trimble, Series Director. “Thanks to the support of
riders and fans worldwide and with the help of the team at Rockstar
Games, we have been able to grow and evolve this championship into
something truly amazing.”
Looking to the season ahead, all eyes will be on last year’s
champions Colin Strickland and Ash Duban, both from the United
States, to see if they can continue their run at the top amidst
ever-increasing competition. A new race format debuts in 2017 with
six qualifying heats - rather than individual lap times -
determining final starting grid placements for a day of non-stop
racing action. Overall, the 2016 season saw past champions falter,
increased participation from pro athletes, the emergence of
tactical team-play and lap records broken at every race venue.
Reaching the podium in 2017, let alone winning the prestigious
series title, will present riders with the toughest challenge
yet.

About Red Hook Criterium
The Red Hook Criterium Series is unique in cycling in that it
requires athletes to race multiple laps around
a 1km (approx.) technical street circuit on brakeless,
fixed-gear track bikes. Taking cues from international motorsport,
athletes begin by competing in timed qualification rounds to
establish grid positions for the main event. The finals,
traditionally raced at night, are held in front of thousands of
spectators at each destination.
Initially conceived in 2008 as a one off race between friends
from the amateur and professional cycling community, the Red Hook
Criterium has since developed into a worldwide championship series
with host cities in New York, London, Barcelona and Milan. The race
offers a men’s and women’s championship on equal footing,
attracting hundreds of athletes from multiple cycling disciplines.
Athletes accumulate points for finishing each race, traveling from
one city to the next, vying for a position on the championship
podium.
