Why is Surf City the longest-running cyclocross series in the United States?

Sure, it’s because racers keep showing up to throw down on the course, but it’s more than that. Since 1978, Surf City has been about building community, friendships, and traditions that last far beyond the finish line.

We’re proud to be more than just a bike race. Surf City is the only race in Santa Cruz that offers back-to-back racing, camping, and activities that bring people together both on and off the bike.

Surf City Cyclocross is back! Join us Saturday & Sunday, October 25–26 at Crest Ranch in Santa Cruz for another epic weekend of racing.

Course Change
We’re switching things up this year with a course that’s faster and flowier. Less jungle-cross, more speed and fun.

Doggie Cross
Back by popular demand: race a lap with your pup at 2:30 on Saturday. Treats for finishers (the dogs, not you).

Camping
Camping available Friday–Sunday. Be sure to grab your pass when you pre-register. Please, no jumbo RVs, space is limited as Crest Ranch continues fire recovery. We’ll also have family-friendly activities Saturday night, so stick around and pitch a tent.

Costume Race
The highlight of Surf City All Hallow's Cross is the COSTUME RACE! This is the best race to spectate and participate in, so we encourage everyone to join the fun. Put on your best costume and ride one fun lap of the course.

This is Race #2 of the Bay Area Super Prestige Series, so series points are on the line.

Will boots be shooted at the tracklocross podium this weekend? Will Caroline and Tobin defend their titles as elite champions whilst racing in tutus and cocktail dresses? Will there be Le Mans starts? No way to say for sure, but you know that Josh Becker will be there to capture it on camera if it goes down. Only two days left to preregister for your race. www.cyclo-x.com
