2025 WEST DUNDEE RIVER CHALLENGE

Join us on Friday, July 18th!  

​

The West Dundee River Challenge is back for it's 9th year, once again hosting the first day of the Chicago Grit 10-day bike race criterium. To complement a full day of racing, we will be hosting a community festival in the Old Town North neighborhood. 

 

In Grafelman Park, the KidZone will feature inflatables, activities and kid-friendly food.  The Dundee Open-Air Market will host local businesses selling their wares and showcasing their services.

​

Down the hill on North 2nd Street, the Restaurant and Entertainment Corridor features race-day menus from local restaurants, as well as the Afterparty festivities including music, food and drinks.
