Fall CX Races - a New England Tradition!

Northampton Cyclocross

The 33rd Edition of the Race!

Fri Nov 8 - Sun Nov 10, 2024

Northampton, MA

Marking its 33rd year, this race has long been one of the pillars of the NE CX scene! Always seemingly a bit colder than other races, this event brings out the need in folks to go fast - if just just to stay warm!

Secret Squirrel CX

Sat November 23, 2024

Raynham, MA

There are trails, ups, downs, berms, run-ups, run-downs, logs, man-eating squirrels, etc. The last "race" is the Donut Madison Relay. Teams of two will relay race. The "waiting" racer will consume an entire donut when his/her partner returns before starting their lap, and so on. This is ALWAYS a fun race!

The Ice Weasels Cometh

Sat December 7, 2024

Southwick, MA

The legendary New England Cyclocross season finale is known as much for its fun course and great race vibe as it is for its constant shenanigans & awesome costumes (optional but encouraged).
