Hello Racers!
The Portland Criterium presented by Steeplejack Brewing is back for 2026, on August 15th & 16th.
First off, registration is now open. Please remember to register early and often to show your support for your race promoters.

The Portland Criterium race at the Lloyd Center will probably be the last time we are able to hold a race at this instant classic course. If you missed out on racing through the tunnel last year, make sure to get this on your calendar. The Lloyd Criterium course will also host the OBRA Criterium Championship for all abilities and age groups.
We also have an updated course along the Park Blocks, extending one block further north to NW Gilsan. This will lengthen the course and provide an easier to navigate corner 1 & 2, while still allowing for an amazing spectator experience along the North Park Blocks.
Junior racing both days will be free thanks to the generous support of Berkshire Ginsberg LLC.
Cycle Oregon and Portland Design Works will be hosting our Saturday Pedalpalooza ride, bike rodeo and bike valet. We will also be partnering with Go Lloyd and Lloyd EcoDistrict for the Party On Portland event at Holladay Park on Sunday.
There are two things that make this event possible each year: Our partners and volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up to help out: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050E4AA5AC2AAB9-63873076-portland#/
We will have event shirts available for each of our volunteers, designed by the amazing Lisa Congdon. Volunteering will be the ONLY way to take home one of these shirts.
And thank you to our amazing partners:
