The Century City Sport Festival celebrates its 14th year of existence and City Cycling Club has been hosting the criterium for the Sports Festival from the first edition and has seen it grow in leaps and bounds. Racing is around a 1.5 kilometre circuit which is secured by the very competent Century City Property Owners security staff. This is the third race in the WP Road Criterium Cup that commenced in February.

The Century City Criterium takes place on 5 March 2023.  The ever-popular crit race is hosted by Century City in conjunction with the City Cycling Club.  Racing starts at 8h00.
