With no US round of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup this year, the US National Cyclocross Championships is the biggest event of the season for US CX racers and fans, with the elite race taking place on Saturday, December 14.
Here's how to watch the U.S. Cyclocross Championships live and from anywhere with a VPN.
The loss of the U.S. round of the cyclocross World Cup was a major blow to the sport in the U.S., but the scene is nonetheless alive and well, with national titles in the junior, under-23, and elite categories to be decided this weekend.
The full schedule of races at Joe Creason Park in Louisville, Kentucky, will start at 8:40 AM ET for the junior men and 9:40 AM ET for the junior women, with the elite women starting at 2:45 PM ET and the elite men at 4 PM ET. Finish.
The big favorite for the elite men's race is two-time champion Eric Brunner (CompEdge Racing) from Boulder, Colorado. This season he has won 6 out of 10 UCI races and has scored many points.
The favorite to win the women's race will likely be Katie Cruz, who finished fourth in the national series behind three international competitors. However, she has strong opponents waiting in the wings, including Lauren Zoner, Raylin Nass, and Mia Aseltin.
