Inaminit nailed it - a kermesse race is circuit based (like a criterium race) over a set distance (whereas a criterium is for a set time, followed by a specified number of laps).

How can frogs enter a bike race in France? Hand cycle?
I remember seeing a National Lampoons cartoon of frogs on crutches and in wheelchairs heading out of a Franch restaurant The image has stuck with me for about 20 years so far, it was a classic.
