Hyattsville CX 2012

Route 1 Velo and Crosshairs Cycling are proud to announce that the 4th annual Hyattsville Cyclocross Race  will take place Sunday, October 7 at Magruder Park in Hyattsville, Maryland. The spectator- and family-friendly park, which features multiple playgrounds, plenty of parking and indoor restrooms, is only 6 miles from the U.S. Capitol, and just a 20 minute bike ride from Capitol Hill.

As in previous years, proceeds from the race will benefit Prince George’s County Special Olympics. Racers who buy Hyattsville CX pint glasses will help out a good cause and get to enjoy a tasty post-race beer. Each pint glass purchase comes with one free fill-up on race day. In the past three years we have raised over $15,00 for the Special Olympics program and remain their single largest contributor.

For the 2012 edition, Hyattsville CX will once again be part of the Super 8 Series, one of the largest cyclocross series in the United States. Presented by BikeReg.com, the Super 8 series is committed to offering racers, families and spectators a day filled with the best racing and amenities available on the East Coast. Check out the rest of the Super 8 Series here.

So come join us, won't you? Registration for all the days races can be found here: https://www.bikereg.com/Net/17197

See you October 7. Don't forget the cowbell.

Thank You!

Route 1 Velo and Arrow Bicycle wants to thank the close to 600 racers, hundreds of spectators and the Hyattsville community for making the 2011 Hyattsville CX the best edition, yet. We could not have asked for a better day. We've gotten tons of positive feedback on our course and are happy the community continues to support the event. Thank you to all the sponsors (listed on the right) that make Hyattsville CX possible. We could not do it without your support!

Although we have not finished the accounting, we most likely will be donating in excess of $5000 to Prince George's County Special Olympics!

Thanks again to everybody who made the day possible. For those that couldn't make it out, here's what you missed.
