SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CYCLOCROSS

Southern California Cyclocross (known as SoCalCross) was formed in 2005 by an informal association of cycling clubs eager to grow the sport and motivated to become the premier cyclocross race series in Southern California and nationwide! Since then the Series has grown 500% and boasts over 200 races to date from San Diego to San Luis Obispo!

SoCalCross hosts UCI Internationally sanctioned Elite, U23 and Junior races for Men and Women bringing together some of the top ranked athletes from around the World to Southern California.  SoCalCross has been hosting UCI races since 2007 and the only UCI events  in the State of California!
