About the Event

The Capitol City Crit is a closed-course criterium set against the iconic backdrop of the North Dakota State Capitol Grounds. Known for its fast corners and spectator-friendly layout, this event challenges racers to combine speed, tactics, and endurance in a tight, thrilling loop through the heart of Bismarck.

We’re keeping the extended 1.2-mile lap distance — offering racers more chances for attacks, strategy, and recovery. All races will run counter-clockwise, with the start/finish line located near the State Library on the east side of the course. Each race begins with a half-lap lead-in paced by an official.
