An alley-cat race is an informal race held in cities with as much emphasis on participation and fellowship between cyclists as on winning. Usually there is no set race course, and cyclists are free to choose whatever route they come up with to get to the finish as fast as possible. Formats vary, but alley-cat races may include a series of checkpoints that cyclists must reach in order to complete the race. Often there are tasks and/or obstacles at each station that must be completed that add to the fun and competition. This may be something like chugging a beer, performing a track-stand or doing a three-legged race.

Since the required checkpoints are commonly provided just shortly before the race itself, a cyclist's knowledge of the city and various ways to get around may be an advantage. Participants may ride on-road or go through parks, college campuses, bike trails or other off-street routes.
