About the Event

Join us for an exhilarating Friday night of cyclo-cross, packed with fun and excitement! This special evening welcomes novice riders of all genders to participate in our dedicated beginner category. The race runs separately but concurrently with the Youth Under 16 event, ensuring a supportive environment for newcomers.
With no ranking points or prizes on offer, this is an ideal opportunity to get familiar with cyclo-cross without any pressure. After crossing the finish line, stick around and enjoy complimentary pizza and drinks at our post-race gathering.
Please note that rider categories will align with last season's age groups until September 1st when new classifications take effect. We kindly request participants not to compete in higher age brackets as this would compromise our insurance coverage.
Entries must be submitted by Wednesday midnight, or the event may reach capacity before then. Don't miss out on a fantastic night of cycling and community spirit!
