St. Pete is no stranger to its streets being closed for big-time racing, and now another event is set to take over the town. St. Pete-based TheOrangeBelt is hosting the CRIT Championship Tour, a high-speed, professional criterium bike race taking place this Saturday, October 21 in the heart of the EDGEDistrict.

The all-day event will turn the entire district into a wet zone for the day, so people can grab drinks at participating bars/restaurants and are welcome to walk the district with them in EDGE-branded plastic cups that will be provided. Races are all free to attend for GA viewing, and guests are encouraged to grab food and drink from the EDGE District restaurants and bring them outside to enjoy during the races.

What to know:

🗓️When: Saturday, October 21 – festivities begin at 8:15 am, with amateur races beginning at noon, and the two pro races beginning consecutively at 4:15 pm, the Women’s Pro Race followed by the Men’s Pro Race at 5:50 pm.

📍Where: The tight race course runs on Central Avenue and 1st Avenue North from 11th Street to 15th Street. The entire EDGE District will be home to the festivities, and all drinks can be taken anywhere in the area.

🎟️Attendance: The CRIT Championship and its grounds are family-friendly, and there is no cost for attendance. Some VIP seating is available at the turns. Parking is available at Tropicana Field in the paid parking lots, and attendees are encouraged to ride the SunRunner and/or walk, ride a bike, or take a scooter to the neighborhood.

🎪More festival events: In addition to the two pro races, there will be several amateur heats throughout the day, a free FUNdo group ride, yoga in the morning, a local market, specials at area shops and restaurants, and a huge skateboarding event at Green Bench Brewing Co. in the evening.
