Rockstar Games has launched the 2013 Red Hook Criterium Championship Series. The first two legs take place in Brooklyn and there isn't a better place to start this championship off.
"Rockstar Games has opened a new world of opportunity for the Red Hook Criterium," added race founder, David Trimble. "Having Rockstar’s support and faith behind the RHC has allowed the development of a year-long schedule of races that will build tremendous growth for urban cycling culture across the world."
"The Red Hook Criterium will be promoting initiatives that support the rebuilding efforts and growing community spirit after Hurricane Sandy," concluded David Trimble. "I owe everything to Red Hook and it is a fundamental priority that we serve the neighborhood and all those affected by the storm."
In addition to the race in Brooklyn, there will be a 5K race held in the two locations. Rockstar Games is also proud to announce a strong list of supporting sponsors including Giro Sport Design, Castelli Cycling, Cinelli, Timbuk2, San Marco, R&A Cycles, The O'Connell Organization and hatchMAP.
