Join the Omaha Sports Commission at the Aksarben Tirc on May 17 - a fast, fun, free, and family-friendly event!

A new kind of racing will hit the streets in the Aksarben Village with a national competition featuring the top cyclists in the US! The Tirc is a criterium (better known as a "crit"), a short-loop cycling race held on city streets. This national-level event will be held Saturday, May 17 and bring in around 500 athletes and 300 spectators to the inaugural event. Omaha's race will be known as the Askarben Tirc (Crit Nebraska spelled backward). 

Six races will take place throughout the afternoon, including open races, pros, and even a kids race (the Tiny Tirc)! Races start at 3:00 pm and will last until around 9:30, come and go as you can. The event is free to attend, and spectators can experience riders getting up to 35 miles per hour, as well as the expo space, Kid's Zone, and the amazing business in Aksarben Village.
