“Every year cyclocross enthusiasm seems to begin earlier and earlier,
and already in July we are hearing enthusiasm for our 9th edition of

StarCrossed is presented by Stanley—a brand of PMI. Stanley’s Build

America and Europe are starting to confirm attendance at this time for
the first and one of the biggest weekends on the United States

“I was telling my business partner Zac the other day that StarCrossed
is seeing the strongest support from sponsors to date,” said
Buchanan. “As many race promoters and sponsors know, with the support
and generosity from sponsors, a race can go from good to great.
StarCrossed has always pushed the envelope for treating spectators and
racers to a special event where the prize list is deep, the atmosphere
is electric, and the beer is plentiful.”
