Yes. the "old" definition of a criterium was a lap was < 1km, but this has been abandoned. The word "criterium" is the french word for event, so it really just means "race", eg. Criterium International.

A kermesse ( or kermis) is a Flandrian event, with laps of up to 10+ km. The word comes form "kerk" the Flemish word for church, coz the town church uised to be the hub of the event and a fair would be set up on the grounds and a bit of a town party would ensue. Kerkmis became kermis. the French version is kermesse.
