Into the Lion’s Den Powered by SRAM

The fastest criterium cyclists in the U.S. will come together in downtown Sacramento to compete for a $100,000 prize purse at the Into the Lion’s Den powered by SRAM race and cycling festival on Saturday, October 1, 2022. Cycling fans will enjoy an exciting day of racing and family-focused events in California’s state capitol, including a community Halloween ride, bike expo, open criterium, and two professional races featuring some of the country’s top cyclists. 

“Sacramento is thrilled to welcome Into the Lion’s Den powered by SRAM athletes to our city,” said Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg. “Our community is passionate about cycling, and our terrain, coupled with our California weather, makes Sacramento an ideal home for this race. We can’t wait to cheer you on later this fall.
