The Annual Athens Twilight Criterium races and festival will be held April 28-29, on the streets of downtown Athens, Georgia, USA. The races, which draw more than 25,000 spectators, include a variety of events from a 5K road race, Pro/Am cycling, mountain bike races, BMX flatland and street demonstrations, handcycling races and the KidsZone.
The weekend will kick-off on Friday night with the Computrainer Races, which are time trials to seed the riders for the top starting positions in Saturday's Criterium. On College Avenue, Movies by Moonlight will feature a free screening of Breaking Away (1979), before the criterium action takes over on Saturday. The final event will be the men's pro criterium, which starts at 9:00pm on Saturday.
