The Portland Criterium is an annual cycling event in Portland, Oregon, United States. The event "embraces competition and intensity", according to the Portland Mercury.[1]
The event was restarted in 2022.[2] Jonathan Maus of BikePortland said its return "shows that Portland's elected officials have finally come back around to the idea that cycling can be a powerful tool not only for urban mobility, but as a means to bring people together and rediscover our city’s swagger".[3]
The 2024 event had a race around the North Park Blocks in the Pearl District.[4] Approximately 300 people participated in the 2025 event, which circled the North Park Blocks.[5][6] The two-day event in 2026 had routes circling the North Park Blocks and the Lloyd Center.[7][8] Hundreds of people participated.[9][10]
