Richton Park recently hosted its fifth annual Richton Park Criterium, an all-day cycling event featuring national competitors from more than 20 countries.

The course circled Pierce Park near Latonia and Clarendon streets and featured concession stands and entertainment for all ages throughout the day.

Other activities included the Richton Park Police Department’s Kid’s Bike Rodeo in the Park in which children ages 6 to 10 could tackle the bike safety skill course, register their bikes with the village, and participate to win various prizes and giveaways.
