STL DIRT CRITS ~ SPRING SERIES
PRESENTED BY
BMC & SBR RACING
The STL Dirt Crits have provided the greater St Louis Area with Short Track (often known as XCC) style racing for almost 20 years. These races are mass start, and riders complete a high number of laps on a very short, less technical loop, with each race lasting only 30-45 minutes. The shorter nature of these races bring high speeds and high intensity, but don't be scared - the “C” & "B" races are where Beginner to Intermediate riders will still have a blast. These Races are truly perfect for spectators, so bring your friends and family to watch as they will get to see you pass every 5-10 minutes.
Spring Series Dirt Crits XCC MTB Race Series
Spring Series is 5 Races Total (every Wednesday Night from April 30th - May 28th)
River's Edge Park Trail, Chesterfield, MO
Dirt Crits at River's Edge Park Trail is our newest Race Series in the Spring. It is raced on a brand new Short-Track Course built by GORC and the City of Chesterfield, specifically with Dirt Crits in mind. This 1.3 mile Loop has a few more straight sections than our Valley Park Course, but don't be fooled - the center of the Park is full of twists and turns.
