16 September, 2026

The Red Racer JunkYard Cross CX Race for 2026 is upon us!

Event details and registration links below.

Online only registration, but closes 1 hour before your race! Last race registration closes October 4, 1 pm.  

CX racing at it’s very best @ South Surrey Athletic Park October 4th and proud to be part of the Vancouver Lower Mainland Cyclocross Series! 2 weeks earlier this year as we hope to catch some better weather!

We have included almost every type of terrain in the revised 3 km per lap course. An uphill road start will take you onto the gravel by the water tower, through the JunkYard Cross Village and past the Red Racer Beer Garden and onto the grass. As you pass around the water reservoir you will encounter off camber hills before you plummet back onto gravel and onto the BLT trail in the forest.  Scramble up the Mud Wall, the steepest muddiest section and back onto gravel. A second pass of the beer garden, (perhaps stop in on your way by) then back into forested single track before popping out onto the off camber grass and sidewalk climb. Reverse direction back down the hill, then back up the hill along the perimeter of Softball City. We’ve got it all to challenge and entertain you . . .

PIZZA, BEER & PHOTO INCLUDED! - with your entrant fee.

Receive a voucher for 1 slice of pizza. Fresh and hot on site!

Each entrant of drinking age will also receive a voucher for 1 beer at the Red Racer Beer garden.  But you’ll probably want an extra at $5 per while you cheer your favourite racer as they ride by the beer garden twice per lap. Or perhaps they’ll need hydration. U19 riders will receive a non alchoholic beverage voucher.

Scort Robarts Photography will be taking pro photos of your gritty race face so don't forget to show some teeth! Photos will be free to download for personal use.

WHAT IS CYCLOCROSS?

Cyclocross is a discipline of cycling that is growing quickly due to its accessibility (mountain bikes welcome in novice categories) and inclusive atmosphere (no one is serious here). With attainable race times (only 30-60 minutes!), short courses (usually around 2-3km’s), and fun factor (barriers, run-ups, dirt, loud spectators, prizes, smiles, beer garden and more), it’s no wonder everyone is eager to get their ‘cross on!
