Newport News Twilight Criterium

April 15 @ 1:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Back by popular demand, the City of Newport News and THR Cycling are again joining forces for the 2023 Newport News Twilight Criterium!  An elite, amateur bicycle racing event sanctioned by USA Cycling.

The Newport News Twilight Criterium offers eight races for men and women of varying ages and expertise, including a free Kid’s Fun Race for children ages 3 – 9 years. Cash prizes for each race range from $250 – $2,500 made possible by sponsors including Compass Intermodal, Hornsby Tire and Service Center, Hylton Builders, TREK, Village Bicycles, Cutaway, and many more.

The adult one-kilometer race course includes eight turns, starts and ends at City Hall, 2400 Washington Ave., and is made up of two square city blocks between Huntington and West Avenues and 25th – 27th Streets. The short uphill and fast downhill course, along with twilight, dusk and dark conditions will be sure to challenge all cyclists from beginner to elite.

Come to the Yard District and be right next to the action as you cheer on the cyclists who can reach speeds up to 45 miles per hour! Enjoy food trucks, support the racers and take advantage of free bike safety checks offered by the TREK stores of Hampton Roads!  Parking and admission is free.
