Vantage Criterium National Championships

Olympians and World Championship medalists will hit the streets of Christchurch this November in the Vantage Criterium National Championships. This one-day cycling event follows a 1km street circuit over multiple laps and is free for spectators to enjoy.

The Criterium is a small circuit, multi-lap race, which will be held on a newly proposed central city circuit in the Christchurch city centre. Given the tight and technical nature of the circuit and the close proximity of the crowds, racing will be fast, furious, and very exciting.

The event is scheduled to take place during NZ Cup and Show week, adding a new dimension to an already action packed festival week in Christchurch. We invite all fans of sport and cycling to come to Christchurch to enjoy a day of activity and action.

Challenge yourself and race, or come along to watch the action live - there's something for everyone!
