Burlington Downtown Criterium – Stage 4

We are thrilled to return to downtown Burlington for our fast, fun and technical final stage. Many of the roads have been rebuilt and repaved. Please plan to arrive early to inspect the course as the road reconstruction modified the width of the road in some sections. 

For the most accurate information please see the race Tech Guide.

DISTANCE – One kilometer (.62 miles) per lap

COURSE DESCRIPTION

A 6-corner, very technical course in the heart of downtown Burlington, Vermont. 

Please be sure to review the course prior to your race.

CONTROLLED START

The start of each race will be controlled for +/- ½ a lap. This means the pace will be slow so riders can get clipped in and settled. Riders may not ride the bumper or pass the pace car. 

CAUTIONS

Due to the technical nature of this course and irregular surface conditions, participants are strongly encouraged to make a walking inspection of the course to become familiar with the location of manholes and catch basin covers. USE EXTREME CAUTION.
