College Park Crit (Spin the District 2023)

THE EXCITING CONCLUSION OF SPEED WEEK 2023
Sunday, April 30, 2023 marks the Speed Week Finals and our famous Bayou Block Party! See some of the nation’s fastest cyclists compete for the crown in our uniquely thrilling uphill Criterium, while you enjoy a crawfish boil, artist market, food trucks and more at our one-of-a-kind family festival.

DON’T FORGET THE FEAST!
We’re looking forward to a beautiful day in College Park. The racing is the main attraction, but there’s much more to every Spin event, including food trucks, artists’ markets, music, games, and more. You don’t need to be a cycling fan to come out and hang. The crawfish can’t tell the difference.

Did we mention there will be crawfish?

VIP crawfish experiences can be reserved in advance (watch out for more details on that). If the bugs ain’t your bag, no worries: we’ll have food trucks with other yummies to choose from, and plenty of fun activities to enjoy while we celebrate this year’s final Spin the District Criterium.

Start Location
College Park Police & Fire Department, 3720 College St, 30337, College Park, Georgia, USA
