TULSA, Okla. – May 8, 2025 – In one month’s time, the top American road racers will arrive in Tulsa’s Blue Dome District for the first stop of the Saint Francis Tulsa Tough omnium and the opening event of the American Criterium Cup.
Twilight in Tulsa starts the summer season, followed by five premier events in Salt Lake, Milwaukee, Boise, Chicago, and St. Louis. The series is more compact this year, with six events instead of eight, allowing more teams to compete in a higher percentage of races. This tighter schedule puts greater emphasis on each event and creates space for storylines to build around each stop in the series.
The successful elements of the series remain, including consistent social media coverage, live streams at most events, and a total prize purse of over half a million dollars. Here is a schedule for the 2025 season:
- Saint Francis Tulsa Tough, June 6th, 2025
- LHM | CC Utah Crits, June 14th, 2025
