SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CYCLOCROSS

Southern California Cyclocross (known as SoCalCross) was formed in 2006 by a group 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%, boasts over 100 races to date from San Diego to San Luis Obispo and strives to bridge the State of California with the CACX Championship Showdown in January 2012!

Striving to be the best… SoCalCross will host four UCI Internationally sanctioned elite men and women’s events bringing the best cyclocross racers from across the world to Southern California… one weekend in Orange County and one in Los Angeles… and the only UCI events in the State of California!
