WELLS FARGO TWILIGHT CRITERIUM TO INCLUDE WOMEN?S
RACE IN 2003
BOISE, Idaho ? The Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium will include a
women?s race in 2003, according to Race Director Mike Cooley. This
year?s event is scheduled for Saturday, July 26 with the women?s race
starting at 7:30 p.m.
?To help fill the void in women?s cycling created by the cancellation
of the Women?s Challenge, we decided that adding a women?s event to the
Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium would be the right thing to do,? Cooley
said. ?We have had women enter the event before, but this will be the
first year we will have a race exclusively for the women cyclists.?
The event will be opened to women who are licensed with the U.S.
Cycling Federation to compete in Pro, 1, 2 or 3 categories. They will
compete for a total purse of $3,000 with a payout to the top 10 riders.
More than 12,000 people are expected in Downtown Boise to watch what
has become one of Boise?s major summer attractions. The action gets
underway at 5:30 p.m. with the Men?s Cat 4 and 5 race, followed at 6:30
p.m. with the Men?s Cat 3 race. The Men?s event for Pro, 1 and 2
competitors will begin at 9 p.m. All racers must be registered with
the U.S. Cycling Federation (USCF).
Cyclists interested in competing in the Criterium can register online
at sportsbaseonline.com or by calling Cooley at (208) 343-3782. The
entry fee is $30.
?With the addition of the women?s race and the increased recognition
the Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium has received nationally, we are
expecting even more professional riders than we have seen in the past,?
said Cooley, who also is an owner of George?s Cycles in Boise. ?The
Twilight Criterium is one of the hottest races in the country.?
VeloNews, a national cycling magazine, recently named the event the
third best criterium in the U.S. behind #1 in Athens, GA and #2 in
Austin, TX.
Sanctioned by the USCF, the Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium is a timed
criterium that lasts one hour plus 5 laps for the Main Event and 45
minutes plus 1 lap for the preliminary races. The 1-kilometer course
runs through Downtown Boise on Main and Idaho Streets between 6th and
9th Streets. The start/finish line is located near Main St. and
Capitol Blvd.
Cash prizes are awarded to the top 20 finishers of the main men?s
event, including $3,000 to the winner. An awards ceremony will follow
the final race at approximately 10:15 p.m. Cat 3 racers will compete
for a $1,000 purse in prizes only, and Cat 4 and 5 racers will compete
for a $500 purse in prizes only.
