The University of Chicago Velo Club proudly presents the 2009 edition of the Monsters of the Midway Criterium, the longest-running and most beloved criterium in the city of Chicago. As in past years, the race will take place on the Midway Plaisance, right next to the glorious campus of the University of Chicago.

The course is a 1.1-mile rectangle, flat, which the cyclists will ride counter-clockwise. This year the start/finish line will be located on the south side of the Midway Plaisance boulevard, near the crossing with Woodlawn Ave.

The registration area will be located on the southwest corner of Woodlawn Ave and S 60th Street at the Harris School Building.

To get there by car, take Lake Shore Drive and exit at the Museum of Science and Industry. Park your car on streets 60th and 61st please. Do not park on 59th St. (or on the course!). If you take public transportation, the Metra Electric Line will take you right next to the course if you get off the train at the 59th St. stop. And several CTA buses come down here to Hyde Park.

The Monsters of the Midway Criterium is sanctioned by American Bicycle Racing (ABR), and all ABR rules are in effect. Please bring a signed waiver form. You will also need a current ABR license. Application forms for a one-year license and a one-day license are available here and here, respectively, or at the registration table the day of the race.
