Grand Shimano Criterium

The year would not be complete without one of our signature Grand Shimano road event! Grand Shimano Criterium will be the first ever Road Cycling event in our series.

What is a Criterium?

Criterium is a bike race consisting of several laps around a closed circuit, the length of each lap or circuit ranging from about 800 m to 10,000 m. Race length can be determined by a number of laps or total time, in which case the number of remaining laps is calculated as the race progresses. Generally the event's duration is shorter than that of a traditional road race.

Grand Shimano Criterium will be held in Quirino Grandstand on December 15, 2019
