riders' quarters

Explanation:
So say Termium and the GDT (search for quartier des coureurs) – and I agree.

Both sources also give competitors' compound and Termium gives, additionally, competitors' quarters.

Asker: I have both Termium and the GDT and can't believe that I didn't see that. Apologies/thanks!

2 days8 hrs confidence:

Competitors' village

Explanation:
If the event is to be held over a number of days, you might be able to translate quartier as village. I recently worked at a week-long tennis tournament which had a 'players' village' - a place where the players stayed, relaxed, ate and trained between matches. If you're writing about a small, one-off event it might not be suitable, but it's a very common term in sport and could be an option.
