go cross tailgate
The best part about cyclocross is the party
Bikes, Beer, Battlestar Galactica! - Okay, maybe no Battlestar… but it all happens: Saturday 9/16 & Sunday 9/17, 10am to 5pm
PRO-TIP: The elites race LIVE! on Global Cycling Network at 2:45pm each day. If you can only come from a few hours, plan on the hours of 2-5pm.
Come one and all to the Go Cross Tailgate at Fallon Park. An exciting two-day event that will be full of cyclocross racing and spectator fun. Look for events like The Beer Mile Relay, Lil Belgians kid’s race, Cx-tume Competition, as well as food trucks and — of course— Fat Tire Ale. We’re especially excited, because the 2023 race is part of the USCX series and will be livestreamed on Eurosport, GCN (Global Cycling Network), & Discovery+! Get out here and you may catch yourself on the broadcast!
Bring chairs, costumes, noisemakers, and all your friends. Free parking at Fallon Park off Dale Ave in Southeast Roanoke. Entry is also free — you can support Go Cross by enjoying a nice cold beer (or two)!
