USA Cycling Unveils 11-Event Lineup for 2024 Cyclocross National Series
USA Cycling has announced an exciting 11-event lineup for the 2024 Cyclocross National Series, which will feature the Pan American Continental Championships on November 3 in Missoula, Montana. The series builds upon the former Professional Cyclocross calendar (ProCX), retaining a selection of UCI-inscripted races – six of them category 1 – to provide points for domestic rankings among elite men and elite women.
According to Kyle Knott, USA Cycling’s Director of National Events, > “The Cyclocross National Series showcases some of the most respected cyclocross races in the country. Each location features unique and challenging courses that will provide racers the chance to demonstrate their skills and strength.”
The Englewood CX in Wisconsin will serve as the opening event on the calendar, taking place on September 7-8, and is the only new weekend of UCI races on the calendar. The compilation of events concludes at the North Carolina Grand Prix in Hendersonville, North Carolina on November 23-24.
Thunder CX and Nash Dash return for a second season, with all races categorized as C2. Notably, Thunder CX takes place at the same venue in Missoula, Montana that will be used the following day for the Pan American Championships.
Last year, Caroline Mani of Canada won the women’s overall of the season-long US cyclocross series, while Curtis White took the men’s men’s men overall on his home turf.
Among the 11 weekends across three months, a stretch of four events will double for points in the Trek USCX series, which provides a $15,000 season-ending prize purse for elite divisions. The second stop of the National Series, Virginia’s Blue Ridge Go Cross, is the opener for USCX on September 14-15. The next three consecutive weekends – Rochester Cyclocross in New York, Charm City Cross in Maryland, and Trek CX Cup in Wisconsin – complete the USCX schedule, all four events offering a combination of C1/C2 races.
The USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships will return to Louisville, Kentucky two weeks following the North Carolina Grand Prix. The schedule of events from December 9-15, 2024 is yet to be announced.
