Events company FACE Partnership has teamed up with US-based Trimble Racing, owners and organisers of the Red Hook Championship Series.
The partnership will see FACE assist Trimble Racing in the planning and delivery of the inaugural London edition of the Red Hook Championship Series.
Founded by David Trimble in Brooklyn, New York, the Red Hook Criterium is billed as the world’s premier track bike criterium and draws talent from all around the globe. The London event, featuring multiple laps around a fast technical circuit, will join others in Milan, Barcelona and the Brooklyn home race.
“We are thrilled to add London to the Red Hook Criterium Championship Series” said Trimble. “We’ve secured the perfect location on the iconic Greenwich Peninsula and with FACE have found the ideal partner to help us to stage a spectacular event.”
FACE founder and CEO, James Pope commented: “The Red Hook Criterium is one of the world’s coolest cycling events and we have really admired how David has developed the Red Hook brand. The event shares similar values to FACE events such as the Jupiter London Nocturne so when we heard David was planning to bring it to London we definitely wanted to be involved.”
The Red Hook Criterium hits the streets of Greenwich Peninsula on 11th July. www.redhookcrit.com The FACE-organised Jupiter London Nocturne runs shortly before on June 6th.
