The INAUGURAL Year:

Spooky Crit 2025

Spooky Crit 2025, a recap

“This is the most fun I’ve had racing in years! We need more races like this! What can I do to support you guys for next year?” - Lance Haidet

We supported local racing

In our inaugural year, Spooky Crit saw 100+ racers participate across all categories and an additional 100 spectators throughout the day.

More kids on bikes

A dozen kids participated in the free kids race, including one rider that celebrated her birthday at Spooky Crit.

Race categories for all riders

Spooky Crit had a race category for every kind of racer - from those new to racing to seasoned veterans.

We had fun categories for 1st timers, costume races, and age group men’s & women’s races to create a family friendly environment welcoming to all participants.

The competitive Open Women & Open Men races attracted top level talent. In the Open Women’s race, Caroline Wreszin took home the win ahead of Laurel Rathbun. Lance Haidet won the Open Men’s after an exciting early break with Mason Salazar finishing 2nd and Jonas Woodruff in 3rd.

Local trails need support too

Together, we raised $4,020.08 through race entries, donations, and merchandise sales to support trail restoration.

  • "I had a great time at Spooky Crit this year! The course blended power and technicality in a way that rewarded smart, aggressive racing from both road and off-road backgrounds. Add in an amazing prize purse, something hard to find in the U.S., and it has all the ingredients to become a standout fall race, especially as more cyclocross racers catch on. "
