​The Race. Reimagined.

Experience the speed and intensity of professional and amateur criterium racing in the heart of Indianapolis. For 2026, we are bringing the excitement to the Bottleworks District, featuring a fast, technical course that rewards grit and strategy.

Whether you are chasing a podium spot or cheering from the sidelines with a drink from The Garage, Momentum Indy is the premier cycling festival of the summer.

Event Info
The Course: Fast, Flat, and Technical

We’ve designed a circuit that rewards the bold. Experience the roar of the peloton as it tears through the heart of the district on a stage built for speed.

  • New Course Layout: A blistering, 5-corner technical circuit.

  • Course Length: 0.78 mi / 1.26 km 

  • Surface: Flat, fast city pavement through the North Mass Ave corridor.
     

What’s on the Line
  • Weekend Cash Purse: $26,500 (Combined total for the weekend) (View Payout Schedule)

  • Omnium Championship: The final points will be tallied here to award the MUMU Leaders Jerseys.

  • Rider Safety: Full onsite medical support is provided for all categories.

This year, registration comes with a major perk. We are awarding two Zipp Wheelsets (valued at $2,500 each) to our participants.

    • When: Saturday, July 11 at 6:15 PM.

    • Where: Live at the Start/Finish Line.

Eligibility: Professional category riders and employees of Zipp/SRAM are not eligible for wheelset drawings.
 

The Bottleworks Experience

At Momentum Indy, the action doesn't stop at the finish line. Because we're racing in the heart of the Bottleworks District, your race day is a full-scale urban festival:
 

  • Fuel Up: Grab a bite at one of the 20+ vendors inside The Garage Food Hall.

  • Spectator Patios: Enjoy a drink and a front-row seat to the action from the many outdoor patios lining the course.

  • Stay in the Action: From boutique bowling at Pins Mechanical to a luxury stay at the Bottleworks Hotel, the race is just the beginning of your weekend.
     

Heritage Note: Momentum Indy is the evolution of a 16-year tradition of racing on Massachusetts Avenue. We are proud to continue that legacy in a world-class new venue.
