Cyclocross Course

A typical cyclocross course uses a variety of surface areas, including: pavement, gravel or crushed stone paths, established paths, grass, sand, and dirt. The course is between 2.5 and 3.5 kilometers in length and consists of straight and winding sections. Courses will sometimes incorporate natural obstacles such as logs across a path, stairs, hills and sand pits. For these sections racers will dismount their bikes to clear the obstacle.
