FIELDS ARE LIMITED — REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO ENSURE A SPOT!

Pre-register at bikereg.com (additional fee charged by BikeReg). Online registration closes Tuesday, October 18 at 11:59 p.m.  Number pickup/waiver signing will take place at the race venue; racers must complete registration at least 30 minutes prior to their listed start time.

Day-of registration opens at 7:15 a.m. and closes 30 minutes before each start.  There is no race-day registration for UCI races.  A $10 fee will be added to adult entries purchased on race day, if available; juniors day-of fee is $5.  Second and subsequent race entries can be purchased at a $10 discount.  No refunds.

Race schedule

The schedule is the same for both days of racing

At most 140 racers will be allowed on the course per race; for races with combined fields, the field limit applies to the combined field, not each individual race.  BikeReg will close registration for each of the individual fields within a combined field after the total field limit has been reached.

UCI rider sign-in, license check, and number pickup will begin at 12:15 p.m.

Rules and regulations

This is a Category 2 UCI and USAC event held under UCI regulations and USAC permit (#2016-3107).  The event will run rain or shine.  Races are held on a traditional cyclocross course with pavement, grass, hills, gravel, man-made barriers, and one double pit area.  All races except UCI C2 Elites count for Super8 CX series points.  Visit super8cx.org for full details on rules and regulations for series points. There will be no separate payout for the U23 Men and U23 Women racing in the UCI categories.

Your racing age is your age on December 31, 2017 (not 2016). Racers must be 9 years of age or older, except for the “Lil’ Belgians” kids race.

Licensing Requirements

UCI Elite Men/U23 Men, UCI Elite Women/U23 Women must have a current international license.  A domestic USAC license is acceptable for all other races.  Annual and one-day USAC licenses may be purchased at usacycling.org and will also be for sale at registration.  Only Cat 5 men and Cat 4 women can race on a one-day license.  One-day licenses are available for $10 on race day.

Rider staging

Riders will be staged on the starting grid by bib number.  All riders must be at the staging area behind the start line at least 10 minutes before their race start time to ensure orderly staging.  Late riders will be staged at back of pack.

UCI Elite Men and Women:  Bib numbers will be assigned by UCI points, followed by crossresults.com ranking and promoter discretion.

Non-UCI categories:  Bib numbers will be assigned according to Super8 series rules.  All day-of registrants will be staged behind pre-registered riders.
