Hi Beau, we're excited that your trying new things. A Cyclocross race is a multiple lap trail race with manufactured obstacles that might require you to carry your bike for a distance.
Cyclocross is a specific type of bike race. A cyclocross bike is like a road bike with offroad capability. The races are usually on a shorter course with some obstacles etc. that requires the rider to dismount and carry the bike for some distances at various points through the race. Cycling and running are required, but no watersport involved.
Will mountain bikes be allowed in the cross race?
Hi Steve, yes it's fine to use a mountain bike in the race.
What is the course length on the cyclocross? Run / Bike length?
Hi Larry, the Cyclocross is a lap-based course, meaning your score will be based on how many laps you can complete in one hour. The full course (one lap) will be on Hawk Island so there will be a good mix of both running and riding.
The race is this weekend. No details yet? Debating if this is the real thing or something scrapped together.
Hey Max, we won't be posting the course map, but the entire race will be taking place on Hawk Island. Any other details about the race can be found above. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Can we rent/use bikes from the whitewater center or should we bring our Mtn bikes?
Hi Molly – for the Cyclocross Race, please bring your own bikes.
Great cyclocross race! Those run ups were killer…How about a small series next year?
