2023 ROCHESTER CYCLOCROSS COURSE FOR JUNIORS 9-10,11-12 and 13-14 – updated 8/31/23
2023 Course Description: The 3 km course is grassy, diverse, has punchy small climbs and descents and has some unique woods sections as well. Each lap of the course contains approximately 139 feet of vertical climbing per lap. The race course includes 1 man-made barrier/planks set, one natural barrier obliging riders to dismount their bikes, multiple run-ups, a rolling platform on a descent to either ride over or jump from and a Belgian staircase. The double-sided pit is located at mid-point on the course and is clearly labeled.
Overall, the course contains a variety of terrains including grass covered slopes, a section of paved path that is 3 meters wide, as well as dirt sections. The course winds through a section of old growth evergreens and uses numerous natural features as technical challenges.
The course is designed in a “U” formation to accomplish simple access to Registration/EVENT HQ and easy spectator flow while having as few crosswalks as possible.
The Start section is separate from the race course and is only used for the start of each race. The start is located by the finish line.
JUNIORS 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 COURSE
The course has been shortened for these youngest racers to shorten the lap and eliminate some of the most technical features. Please see the course map for more details!
COURSE CHANGES on DAY 2
We will change the operation of the course in the following ways on day 2 only:
- The “technical side” of the course will be run in reverse with the use of our flyover.
- On the 1st lap only of each race, the course will be routed to the “north section” of the course so racers can start on the back half for the first lap. Please refer to course maps.
