Ards Town Centre Crit Races 2023

21st June 2023 sees the return of the Ards Crit to the centre of Newtownards, thanks to a generous grant from Ards and North Down Borough Council. We have planned a busy evening with races for all categories, and subject to sufficient entries, a dedicated race for women.
These evenings have proved popular in the past and we're looking forward to a great evening's racing.
Entries close at 7 pm Monday 19th June.

Road closure is due to be complete before 6 pm.  Subject to change, the race programme is as follows

18:15 U8 -  2 laps

18:25 U10 & U12 - 4 laps or 10-15 mins

18:45 U14 & U16 - 8 laps, or 15-20 mins
