Criterio
Saturday, 22 November 2025
The Criterio, Giro Della Donna's twilight criterium, is where speed meets spectacle under the setting sun. As Saturday fades into night, Marysville’s town centre will be transformed into a high-speed road race circuit. Riders push themselves to the limit, navigating tight corners with precision and intensity. The glowing sunlight and crowds creating a memorable setting.
There are four different races on offer, so you can choose the one that’s right for your appetite. If the roar of the crowd lining the barriers isn’t enough to motivate you, you should know that there is with a purse on offer for the Maglia Rosa, along with a whole host of prizes for the Gruppetto.

Criterio FAQs
Do I need criterium experience to participate?
Absolutely not. We’d love for you to come and race the Criterio as part of your Giro Della Donna cycling weekend, even if it is your first criterium. We’d suggest signing up to the Gruppetto (Open / B & C Racing).
