Cross of the North ushered in a new era this weekend as Rob Howe took over as Race Director, Chris Kinneer as Course Director, former DC CX Race Director, Matt Donahue came on as the Technical Director, and JJ Laughon as Co-Technical Director. The all-volunteer crew did an amazing job of demonstrating that cross indeed “isn’t Dead.” The 10th edition of COTN had 443 racers on Saturday and 344 on Sunday for a total of 787 as compared to 790 in 2021. Those totals are down from previous years (in line with the national trend) which saw 966 in 2018 and 879 in 2019. The race did not take place in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Northern Colorado/Southern Wyoming had roughly 115 race starts during the weekend. 120 in 2021. In 2019 it was around 160. Results and photos are below.

Grant Ellwood and Katie Clause won the Open races on both Saturday and Sunday.
