If you’ve been seeing bicycles decorated by Roswell artists and businesses popping up around Roswell, you’ve seen the start of the “Roswell Cycling Festival – Alive and Rolling.” This month-long celebration culminates in two great events on April 24th and 25th.

9th Annual Historic Roswell Criterium

Sunday, April 25

Canton Street, Roswell GA 30075

Speed, spectators, scenery – Historic Roswell Criterium has it all.


Start the day with the 8 am Mayors Ride in Roswell Area Park on Woodstock Road. Registration begins at 7 am followed by three recreational ride options which showcase the City of Roswell:

1) Family 6-mile tour around old town Roswell;

2) 20 mile Challenge that adds 14 miles of rolling hills to the tour ride;

3) The 40 mile Workout that adds 20 more challenging, beautiful miles.


Criterium races begin at 10:30 am and the last race of the day is a 90 minute professional race that begins at 6 pm. There is even a children’s race where children who complete the 2:30 pm Bicycle Safety Rodeo come out on the professional track for a 200 yard race.


Spectators will gather all along the route so bring your chairs and come prepared for a fun day. With children’s events and shopping at the quaint shops on Canton Street, there’s something for all ages to enjoy.
