USA Cycling has released its 2024 Criterium National Series with 35 days of racing in eight events across the country in partnership with the American Criterium Cup.
The 2024 edition will offer riders the opportunity to qualify for the 2025 Professional Road National Championships. The top 10 Elite Men and Elite Women in the overall standings automatically qualify for the Criterium at Pro Road Nationals.
“We are excited to be working with the American Criterium Cup for the launch of the USA Cycling Criterium National Series,” said Kyle Knott, USA Cycling Director of National Events. “The ACC has elevated the criterium scene in the United States. Each of the 35 races in the series will offer technical and challenging courses for racers to demonstrate their crit prowess.”
The American Criterium Cup is a multiple race criterium series led by a group of independent criterium race organizers collaborating with and supported by USA Cycling, with input from professional and domestic teams and athletes. Organizers of the series have committed $100,000 for a series purse to be split equally among men and women. Many of the stops in the series will feature Elite, Junior, and Amateur level racing.
