BIG. CRIT. ENERGY.
10 RACES IN 10 DAYS WITH TIGHT CORNERS + INSANE SPEED + A PARTY ATMOSPHERE = BIG. CRIT. ENERGY.
Elephant in the room…we changed our name. But that’s really all that changed. We’re keeping the awesome courses you’ve come to love, the tight corners, adrenaline-filled race atmosphere, and epic block parties.
WHY CHICAGO GRIT?
After 10 years of racing under former name – Intelligentsia Cup – we wanted a new name that reflects the spirit of our riders who are badass and full-send, as well as the communities in which we are fortunate to race. We knew Chicago had to be in the name, and we liked the word Grit – because that’s what you need to race 10 days of full-send criteriums on technical courses.

New name, new look, but same great race you’ve loved for 12 years!
