Sacramento Cyclocross finals changes date and location

Sacramento Cyclocross finals changes date and location: Now at Sutter’s Landing Park on Dec. 9.

The Granite Regional Park venue has been nixed by a developer who holds a piece of the land there. However, the City of Sacramento Parks Dept. has been very accommodating, and we have come up with a new location. Due to the change, we are moving the race one week later, to Saturday December 9.

The new location, Sutter’s Landing Park, will give us a gritty, urban feel, within view of the skyline of downtown Sacramento. The park is located at the north end of 28th St, past C St, in midtown Sacramento, just a few blocks from Business 80 Freeway. The course, which will be long, will feature a lot of gravel road, some turns up and down the levee and around some trees next to the Sacramento River, and a circle at the far end at the “elderberries”. The start/finish area is adjacent to a covered skateboard park, and we’ll be able to use the skate park building for our registration and prize distribution.

This will still be a fund raiser for the McClatchy High School track team.
