The San Francisco Twilight Criterium on September 13 is the newest race in the USA CRITS series.

“Nothing compares to a 40 mph night-time race,” said event supporter Ryan Dawkins, president of Project Sport. Dawkins is working with Andy Ball, CEO of Webcor Builders, to put on the event.

The four-corner, one-kilometer course will start and finish at Union Street—the so-called Rodeo Drive of San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the San Francisco Bay will be visible from almost the entire course.

The San Francisco Twilight Criterium will be an invitation-only event with priority given to top USA CRITS Series contenders, followed by local riders. It will be the last series event before the USA CRITS Series finals at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on September 25.
