Criterium racer taking a corner

About

The Ada Classic Criterium is back, bringing the speed and excitement of elite amateur bike racing to streets of Ada Village. Downtown Ada has an amazing new look, and you'll see and hear it like never before. Get ready for an afternoon of men's and women's races for all ages, including a FREE children's race!

This race is a non-profit event supporting the Michigan Dental Association Foundation's initiatives in West Michigan. The MDA Foundation Board raises money to in turn give it back to local community organizations providing dental education and care to Michigan’s uninsured and underserved.
