The Future Cross cyclocross race is tomorrow! We have more than $1,500 in cash and prizes from our generous sponsors, and ALL PROCEEDS benefit the CXmas Junior Fund, which awards travel scholarships to juniors attending the US National Cyclocross Championships in Wisconsin.
All juniors who compete in the Honey Stinger Junior Races will receive a Honey Stinger Organic Waffle, plus the chance to win an overall prize for the first in each age group.
The Hutch's Bicycles Kiddie Cross is FREE for kids 9 and younger, and all participants receive a Hutch's Kiddie Cross ribbon. Kids must bring their own bike and an ANSI-approved helmet, and a parent or guardian must sign a waiver.
If you are planning on racing, and weren't able to pre-register, please send Michelle an email with your details:
-Name
-Category you'll be racing at Future Cross
-Team
-Racing Age
I'll get you entered into our system, which will save time for you and us at Registration tomorrow. We are using Webscorer (which Kevin has been using for Thrilla and has helped us with), and hope to provide you with lap times so you can compare your ride with those in other categories. Registration opens at 8 a.m. and closes 30 minutes before each race. Complimentary Strictly Organic coffee will be served beginning at 8 a.m.
Also, numbers are on the RIGHT for Future Cross.

Volunteers, we need you! Shifts are only two hours long. Remember, this is for a non-profit race, so you can feel good about donating a couple of hours to a good cause. Juniors, this race is for you! We appreciate your help, too.
