Ards Town Centre Crit Races 2025

18th June 2025 sees the return of the Ards Crit Races to the centre of Newtownards, thanks to a generous grant from Ards and North Down Borough Council, and support from Formation Works Newtownards.

We have planned a busy evening of racing for all categories starting from around 6 pm.  This year, we are pleased to be hosting the Ulster Crit Championships as part of our races.
