This is an indoor triathlon with Swim-Bike-Run for a total 60-minute workout. An indoor triathlon is perfect for someone who is doing a triathlon for the first time or the experienced triathlete. All participants start with the swim segment, then move to the stationary bike and finish the triathlon with a run on the treadmill.
There are up to 6 participants in each heat. All participants in each heat will start and finish at the same time, and then progress to the next segment.
To participant in this indoor triathlon you must be at least 15 years old on the date of the event.
Results
The results will be posted as both total distance in miles for the three segments and ranked results for each of the three segments, to determine the overall "ranked" finishers. The distance for the Swim segment will be determined by the total lengths of the 25 yard pool that participants swim, and converted to a mile distance completed.
Event T-shirt
To be guaranteed an event t-shirt you must register by Monday, March 8th at noon. If registering after that date, a shirt is not guaranteed.

The Hyde Park Blast Criterium is the biggest day of competitive criterium racing in the tri-state — drawing hundreds of riders annually to the streets of one of Cincinnati's most iconic neighborhoods.
Racing runs all day on a fast, technical circuit through Hyde Park Square, culminating in the Pro Women's & Men's race under the lights in front of thousands of spectators. This is a finish-line atmosphere unlike anything else in the region.
In case you need another reason to sign up, the Blast is also the 2026 Ohio State Criterium Championship (category only i.e. non-Masters and Juinors races).
CALL-UP NOTE: All call-ups are done strictly by order of registration. Register early for the best staging position. It can make a difference in the fast first few laps of your race!
Women Cat 4 in W Pro/1/2/3 Race: Category 4 women who finish in the top 5 overall in the morning 3/4/5 race are eligible to race in the Women Pro/1/2/3 evening race (registration payment required).
THE COURSE An explosive, punchy criterium course through the tree-lined streets surrounding Hyde Park Square. One short, tight ascent per lap. Sprints out of every corner. Open enough to produce fast finishes.
BEYOND THE RACE The Blast is a full day, not just a bike race. Events kick-off first thing in the morning with a 4-mile run/walk and kids fun run. By afternoon the block party is in full swing with beer, wine, food, and live music from 4 PM. The crowd buildings all day culminating in the evening Pro Women race, elite 5K run on the crit course, and the Pro Men finish under the lights.
The Blast has collaborated again with Cincinnati's own Fifty West Brewing to brew an official Hyde Park Blast beer, details to be released soon. Leading up to race day, one dollar from every pint sold at Fifty West's Burger Bar benefits The Cure Starts Now. It'll be pouring in the block party all day.
THE CAUSE The Hyde Park Blast is a 501(c)3 charitable event that has raised over $600,000 for Cincinnati cancer charities since 2001, including The Cure Starts Now. Your entry fee and your presence on June 27th are part of something bigger than the race.
PARKING Team parking permits available for purchase. Street parking and paid lots nearby — arrive early.

ABOUT
The Tour de CROWN returns on Saturday, August 29, 2026!
Organized by Tri-State Trails and presented by Great Parks, the Tour de CROWN is a community bike ride open to riders of all abilities. The event showcases existing and future trails throughout the expanding Cincinnati Riding or Walking Network (CROWN), inspiring support for a more connected and bike-friendly region.
Over the past three years, hundreds of riders have experienced the growing CROWN firsthand, pedaling through newly completed trail segments, discovering connections between neighborhoods they didn’t know existed, and helping build momentum for a more connected Cincinnati.
Want to learn how the CROWN came to life, and where it’s headed next?

Choose from three distance options, all starting and ending at Fifty West Brewing Company. Each route features rest stops and rider support from Tour de CROWN volunteers.
Your registration includes a post-ride burger and beverage (beer, soda, or milkshake), plus access to the Tour de CROWN Expo.
Best of all: Proceeds support Tri-State Trails’ work for a more connected regional trail and bikeway network.
ROUTE OPTIONS
The Tour de CROWN has something for everyone; no matter your route, you will have a blast experiencing the trails.

Find your wild on this 34-mile ride through parks, neighborhoods, bikeways, and trail segments that make up the vision for the CROWN, powered by Great Parks of Hamilton County. This route offers a front-row seat to the progress already made and the work still ahead, with several on-road sections where trails are still under development.
The Fifty West Half CROWN (17.5-mi) — 9:00 AM Departure
This ride takes you along some of the most well-loved trails in the region, including the Little Miami Scenic Trail, Lunken Airport Loop, Delta Avenue Bikeway, Wasson Way, and Murray Path.

TOUR de CROWN Jersey
Each year, the Tour de CROWN partners with a different local artist to create a one-of-a-kind event jersey that celebrates Cincinnati, community, and the spirit of the CROWN.
For 2026, we’re excited to collaborate with Jim Tucker Studio. Jim’s playful, people-centered illustrations bring the energy of the Tour de CROWN to life with a cast of joyful characters.
We love the personality and sense of fun Jim has brought to this year’s design, and we can’t wait to see riders wearing it out on the CROWN.
