The circuits used for Kermesse racing are longer than those used for criterium style races - 3 to 5 miles. The general idea is for each lap to pass through the center of town - like a traditional French style criterium - but then go beyond the town's outskirts (perhaps up some hill if there is one nearby) before returning to the start/finish line.
