Athens Twilight Global Challenge Criterium

Race against the Pros and your friends! The premier US Criterium is at it again. We are offering 4 weeks of racing BEFORE YOU get the opportunity to race against the pros on April 16th 2026. Practice your racing before you tangle with the pros. There will be two races on the 16th of April. Womens Pro (7pm EDT) and Mens Pro (8pm EDT) Twilight Weekend kicks off with the Twilight Global Challenge, setting the tone for an exciting few days of racing and celebration. More than just a competition, this event gives fans and partners the chance to meet and interact with the professional cyclists who make Twilight so special - turning the racers who fly by on Saturday night into real people with stories, personalities, and passion for the sport. Elite men and women compete in two heats in head-to-head showdowns on a virtual Twilight course, while riders from around the world join virtually to compete and engage in real time. Hosted at Live Wire Athens, this immersive event brings together 16 professional riders in person alongside a global community of riders and fans participating virtually - creating a truly international celebration of cycling. The Twilight Global Challenge blends live racing, global virtual competition, immersive production, and interactive fundraising into one high-impact experience..
