Nightshift racing
The Event

Racing under lights.

Nightshift takes over Murarrie for one night only. Fast racing, loud corners, food, drinks, music, and the kind of trackside energy usually missing from local crits.

On Saturday, 20 June, we're turning Brisbane's home of criterium racing into an after-dark race night for riders, spectators, friends, families, and anyone who thinks cycling is better when it gets a little less sensible.

The Schedule

Racing builds as the sun drops. The best grades hit the circuit when the venue is loudest — under lights, in the dark.

The Venue

Murarrie Crit Track - Home to Balmoral CC

Partnering with Balmoral Cycling Club, we're taking over Brisbane's purpose-built closed-circuit. No road closures. Built for criteriums. Strong spectator visibility.

This isn't a regular crit night with a banner on the fence. Felons will be pouring cold ones from a DJ-topped fire truck. BlackRoll will be set up with recovery boots and guns so you can sort your legs out post-race. And PURE has your nutrition sorted from warm-up to wind-down.

Yes. Riders will need the appropriate AusCycling race licence or event licence. For a one day license head here. More details will be in the entry process via EntryBoss.
Yes. Enter D Grade / Intro Crit. Riders should be confident riding in a bunch and holding their line in traffic. If that sounds like you, you'll be fine.

A wet weather policy will be confirmed and communicated closer to the event. Safety comes first. Brisbane in June is generally dry — winter conditions are ideal for racing.
Parking details will be shared in the full rider guide sent before the event. Murarrie Criterium Track has existing parking infrastructure — more info to come.
Yes. Nightshift has previously run in Adelaide alongside the Tour Down Under. Brisbane is the first standalone version — cycling-only, evening format, and built around making Murarrie feel like something different.
