Experience Downer Avenue on Race Day
Historic Downer Avenue is home to one of the most famous urban criterium courses in the country. Global in reach and extremely local in flavor, The Cafe Hollander Downer Classic Pro Criterium, hosted in partnership with the Tour of America’s Dairyland, promises to be one of the highlights of cycling in Wisconsin this summer. The full day of racing, Saturday, June 25, 2022, also features a popular kids’ race, a Belgian Beer Festival, the famous as well as a full slate of racing all afternoon and evening. Food, beer, and family fun complement the twilight pro race that promises to bring pro teams and riders from around the world.

All participants will receive Cedar Crest ice cream at the finish. Races begin at 6:15. Following the kids races, join us for the New Belgium Keg Pull.
