STL DIRT CRITS
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 speed 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.

THE CATEGORIES
DIRT CRITS "A" RACE (OR "Chasing Devon & Chelsea")
DIRT CRITS "B" RACE
DIRT CRITS "C" RACE
FREE 1 Lap Kid's Race
- The "A" Race is perfect for intermediate to advanced riders who are looking for one hell of a workout, and want a race that's FAST and HARD.
- The "A" Race will race for approx. 45 minutes.
- All "A" Race Categories (Men's, Women's, Cyclocross) start together, but are scored separately.
DIRT CRITS "B" RACE
- The "B" Race is perfect for intermediate riders who are looking for a killer workout, without the "intensity" or "seriousness" that comes with the "A" Race.
- The "B" Race will race for approx. 40 minutes.
- All "B" Race Categories (Men's, Women's, Cyclocross) start together, but are scored separately.
DIRT CRITS "C" RACE
- The "C" Race is perfect for first time races, juniors, beginner riders, or those looking for a more casual and fun racing experience. This is the best way to get a small taste of short-track racing!
- The "C" Race is 3 Laps (approximately 25-30 minutes of racing).
- While the "C" Race starts at the same time as the "B" Race, we ask that "C" riders line up at the very back.
FREE 1 Lap Kid's Race
- This race is 1 Lap, no Podium, no Winners, no Losers, just FUN!
- This race starts directly after the "A" Race once the course is clear, and no registration is needed.
