Event Details

The criterium course is closed to traffic, typically less than a mile in distance and is punctuated by sharp corners and speeds of over 30 mph. A crit is one of the most spectator friendly of bicycle races because the spectators get to watch the racers up close. Racers ride multiple laps of the course and generally stay in a tight pack. Races usually last a set amount of time plus a few laps, ie. 30 minutes plus five laps. During the time period, racers are working to maintain position and sometimes just to stay in the race. If a racer goes off the back, he/she continues riding to try and stay in the race. Once lapped, the racer is out. Once the final laps begin, the race heats up and speeds can reach 40 mph or more. The winner is the first over the line. 5pm - Sundown.

Followed by the DAM J.A.M. Bicycle Tour on Saturday.

Sequoyah State Park Golf Courses

Sequoyah State Park Golf

Nestled in the densely wooded foothills of the Ozark Plateau, Sequoyah is a short but difficult course with bent grass greens and bermuda grass tees and fairways ? a good challenge for the average golfer. More than 200 mature oak and pecan trees grace the fairways of Sequoyah, which offers views of Fort Gibson Lake from every tee box. The lake comes into play on five of the course?s holes. Golfers should heed the pro?s advice: Use more club than the yardage indicates to reach the course?s elevated greens.

Western Hills Resort is also located in Sequoyah State Park and offers comfortable accommodations with a Western theme. And for nature lovers, the park offers a variety of outdoor activities, a nature center and abundant wildlife.
