Chicago Racing Series (CRS)

CTC targets a few key races each year that the club does together as a team. Members can compete with each other at the races while volunteers coordinate logistics such as CTC Tent, pre-race meals, meeting points, post-race festivities, and even supplies in case you forget anything! The Chicago Racing Series (CRS) races are selected based on member feedback. These are the best local races run by race directors who deserve our support.

CRS races for 2024 are listed on the Race Calendar.

The Rules of the CRS competition are:

CRS is all about competition, smack talking, fist pumping competition
CRS is a series of local, well-run and popular races where CTC members compete against each other for points
