Colorado cyclocross racers descended on the New Belgium campus again this year for Cross of the North. The two-day festival uses the bulk of the Send Town Dirt pile course many of you competed on in October. Organizers added a few twists, turns, runups, and planks to mix things up for 700-plus racers.

COTN had 396 racers on Saturday and 330 on Sunday, totaling 726, down from 771 in 2023.

Thanks to all the volunteers who make this race happen every year.
