Crystal Palace Crits

About the Series…

Note: For information on upcoming races and possible weather cancellations, please follow us on Instagram, @CPcrits – or you can join the CP Crits WhatsApp announcements group.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all back to Paxton’s beautiful park in the spring for a short season of Tuesday-night races.  We hope to run races on ten evenings with youth-only racing on the first two nights owing to light – see ‘Calendar’ for all the dates.  As usual it’s a shorter series than in previous years owing to two music festivals being run back-to-back within the park.  The CP Crits races take place within the grounds of the 2020 World Cup-winning champion of south-London parks.

Organised by Dulwich Paragon CC – unstintingly supported by associate clubs, sponsors and a small army of volunteers – this unique race series is one of London’s most anticipated and best supported amateur cycle racing events.  All entry fees go towards providing exciting, efficient and safe racing for all competitors, from budding espoirs to Elite category riders – and any surplus is reinvested in racing activities within the South Eastern region. For more information on any aspect of the race series please click on the appropriate link below.

We’d also like to give Rapha a special mention, as they have been unstinting in their support for the series the last few seasons, providing generous prizes for the series and for intermediate sprints (‘primes’) each evening.  We hope to maintain our relationship with Rapha for the 2027 series and will make further announcements in the spring.
