The 2026 Chocolate City Criterium Supporter Shirt is Here

The official 2026 Chocolate City Criterium tee captures the speed, color, and energy of CCC in one wearable piece of race-day history.

Printed on a garment-dyed Comfort Colors heavyweight tee, this shirt features original artwork based on a photograph by official CCC photographer Brian Rimm from the 2025 Chocolate City Criterium. The back graphic shows the peloton charging through DC with the final silhouette of RFK Stadium in the background — a nod to the course, the venue, and a chapter of DC history that will never look quite the same again.
