Red Hook Crit is a criterium cycle race which has been held annually in Red Hook, Brooklyn since 2008.[1] Red Hook races are also held in three European cities: Milan since 2010, Barcelona since 2013, and at the Greenwich Peninsula, London since 2015.[2]

Riders use brakeless fixed-gear bicycles and so there are often crashes during the races.[3]

Since 2014, there have been separate men's and women's races.
