- Your cyclocross race age is the age you will be on December 31st of the year that the season ends. Because our season starts in September and ends the following year in January, your age will usually be +1 or 2 years.
[Example: You are 33 years old. Your race season starts in September 2024 (you are still 33), but you have a birthday in October 2024 (making you 34 at the end of the year). The World Champs will be in January 2025 (you are still 34) but your age is taken at the end of that year. You will have another birthday in October 2025 (making you 35).
Thus, your real age on December 31, 2025 will be your race age for the entire 2024 season. This means as a 33-year-old you may race in the 35+ races, or as a 14-year-old Junior, you may be required to race in the 15-18 category.]
- All Ages races welcome racers of any age, including Juniors, 35+ and 50+ racers.
- Junior participants may race up in older age categories, but not down.
- 35+ and 50+ participants may race down age categories, but not up.
Start times
- Due to time constraints and field sizes, we cannot guarantee completely separate start times. As a result, you may find yourself racing along side people (of other ages and genders) who are not in your category. Note the start time blocks to understand who you may be sharing the field with.
