Chris Cross Cyclocross

The De Stad Cyclocross Van Kansas Series presented by Paceline Products travels to the beautiful campus of the University of Saint Mary for round #2 of our series. A classic course has been laid out for you by event director Rich Anderson and the Cross Guru. We will also be supporting the Forest Avenue Women's Shelter.

The 6th Annual Chris Cross Cyclocross race moves to a new venue that has been dubbed one of the best cyclocross venues in the Kansas City area. Sunday's course will be a 3 kilometer loop that includes uphill start, a 700 meter section of cobbles, grass, dirt roads, steep run-ups, flowing and off camber turns all within the beautiful setting of the University of Saint Mary Campus.
