Date:  Sunday, November 3, 2024 -  RAIN OR SHINE EVENT

Course Description:

WE'RE BACK FOR OUR 12TH YEAR! and excited to announce that the TWELFTH edition of WCCX will be held on Sunday November 3th at famous Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show and Fairgrounds.  This location has special history...utilized by Wissahickon Cross (including UCI races) for several years last held in 2009, and more recently the home of WCCX since 2018.  For 2024, WCCX is celebrating it's 12th anniversary!

As you may remember this site is very spectator friendly, with the entire course being visible from the promanade hill.  It also has easy to access of the PA Turnpike and will exceed the high level of racer expectations that come with a WCCX event.  Don't miss the 11th year for WCCX cyclocross.  Classic cyclocross course with two sets of barriers and variable terrain mostly grass, with some gravel. The 2.2 mile closed course is great for spectators. Course will be flowing and challenging, making use of natural run-ups, off cambers sections, and lots of cornering.  As those of you who have done WCCX at Ludwig's...the course will incorporate many of the challenging features from the past UCI venue with some extra bling supplied by "angry” Bob Reuther, local cross legend and long time advocate of local cycling...so you know it will be AWESOME!
