There are no cyclocross races schedule for Lancaster County this year, but the first in the region will be held this weekend.
The Nittany Lion Cross race, previously held at the Penn State Lehigh Campus, is being held at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center, otherwise known as the Lehigh Velodrome, on Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. The 2.7-kilometer course goes around the outside of the velodrome fence. Online advance registration has already closed for the race, but same-day registration is available. Detailed information is here.
The race in Trexlertown is the first of the Mid-Atlantic Cross series. The second race in the series is the Charm City Cross race in Baltimore’s Druid Hill Park on Sunday. Although online registration does not close until Friday, many categories have filled.
Both races offer under-19 categories for juniors and free Lil’ Belgians races for children.
Last year, only one cross race, Wonderland Cross, was held in Lancaster County. That race, in East Lampeter Community Park on Hobson Road, is not being held this year.
