The competition is on with 15 hi-speed professional cycling races, great local food options, music, splash park for the kiddos, Cornhole Tournament, Celebrity Tricycle Race and Skateboard Jump Jam. It’s a day for the races!

The Whiskey City Challenge in beautiful, downtown Lawrenceburg will host the 2022 Indiana State Criterium Championships with Men, Women & Junior races on a dedicated route that’s spectator friendly and attracts competitors from across the nation. Led by the Lawrenceburg Police Motor Patrol, these professional cyclists race around a .65-mile course with 4 hairpin turns to break record speeds in a blur of color. The Whiskey City Challenge is known as a top attraction on the race circuit for good reason.
