Cyclocross: Cascade Cross at Cornwall Park

The Cascade Cross season finale! Early January can offer freezing temperatures, snow, rain, sleet, hail, or be pleasantly sunny and dry. Whatever happens, there will be racing! The Cornwall Park course is a mix of gravel paths, rooty, punchy singletrack, open grassy field, and forest romps. A Le Mans-style standing start is a long-held tradition of this race. 

Cyclocross is about having fun on your bike, even though you are pushing your limits of bike handling ability and aerobic conditioning. Bring your fitness, equipment, and skill to be matched up against any combination of terrain, weather, and ground conditions, course design, and your fellow competitors. Combine all that with a big splash of camaraderie, and you’ve got all you need for an unforgettable day.

Starts: January 10, 2026

Time: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Admission: Free for spectators, $35 to race

Location: Cornwall Park

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
