The Race. Reimagined.
The pulse of Indianapolis cycling has a new home. This year, Momentum Indy brings its premier racing action to the iconic Bottleworks District.
While we have officially retired the "Mass Ave Crit" name, the spirit of the race remains tied to its roots. Our brand-new circuit is a high-speed, technical homage to the avenue, featuring the sharp corners and tactical demands that have defined this event for years, now set against the stunning Art Deco backdrop of Indy’s premier "urban resort."
