What is Cyclocross?

Cyclocross (or CX) is an exciting form of cycle racing that challenges cyclists on a multi-terrain course, navigating grassy areas, gravel, hills, mud, wooded sections, and various obstacles*. 

Think a 'cross country race' on a cycle!

In a CX race, all cyclists continue around the course (usually a 1.5 to 2 mile loop) focused on completing as many laps as possible in a set time period (30 minutes at Kanata Cross).

An extremely welcoming sport built around camaraderie, cyclocross is open to cyclists of all ages and skill levels.

Elite competitors ride specialized CX cycles, but the majority of racers use mountain cycles or road cycles outfitted with nobby tires.

*The Kanata Cross course does not include any obstacles where cyclists would need to dismount.

Why we host Kanata Cross

At NCAS, we believe sport has the power to strengthen communities, break down barriers, and build a more inclusive world.

Our goal is to bring awareness to adapted sports and ensure that athletes with disabilities have the same opportunities as their able-bodied peers to push themselves, compete, and live an active lifestyle.

We are proud to be leading the way as the first organization to offer cyclocross racing to adapted athletes.

Through our cycling program, people with physical disabilities discover, often for the first time, the joy and connection that only sport can create.
