Racing action begins Saturday, September 10th with Class 1 (C1) and a Class 2 (C2) is scheduled for Sunday, September 11th. As the only UCI race in the world this weekend, the competition will be the fierce.
Rochester Cyclocross will feature some of the world’s top male and female Cyclocross racers.

Started in 2008, as the Ellison Park Cyclocross Festival the event was elevated to Class 1 status in 2014 (the highest level of international cycling). Featuring men’s and women’s professional cycling each afternoon, amateur cycling each morning, locally-brewed beers from Rohrbach’s Brewery and world-class barbeque from Good Smoke BBQ, this event is fun for the whole family! Full Moon Vista Bike & Sport is host to the Only Class 1 Cyclocross event in New York State and one of only nine Class 1 events in America.
Produced and hosted by the same company that created the Rochester Twilight Criterium, this event will take all of the excitement and action of the Criterium, off-road!
What is Cyclocross ?
Cyclocross is a hybrid between road cycling and mountain biking. Riders race around an off-road circuit on bicycles that look very similar to road bikes but have been built to take on the demands of rougher off-road racing. Circuits are typically 1.5 to 2 miles long, and feature obstacles that may force the rider to dismount their bicycle. Multiple laps showcase these elite riders’ phenomenal skills and amazing speed.
