Colorado ‘cross ushered in its 8th weekend in a row of dry, warm and loose race conditions with the 9th rendition of Cross of the North. High temps and loose corners proved to be decisive in many of the weekend’s 57 races. 437 racers were on hand at New Belgium on Saturday and 353 on Sunday for a grand total of 790. Those totals are down from previous years which saw 966 in 2018 and 879 in 2019. The race did not take place in 2020 due to COVID 19. Northern Colorado/Sothern Wyoming had roughly 120 race starts during the weekend. In 2019 it was around 160.
Grant Ellwood and Sarah Sturm won the Open races on Saturday with Chloe Fraser and Eric Brunner taking top honors on Sunday.
COTN also played host to Larry Grossman’s last weekend of races as a Colorado event announcer. Larry has announced every COTN since 2011. YGR will have an interview with Larry dropping soon.
Thanks again to James, Jason, Paul, and all the volunteers involved in making Cross of the North the best weekend on the Colorado ‘cross calendar.

NoCo/SoWyo Results
Please keep in mind that I pulled these via the BRAC results and sorted them by city. If you aren’t listed, it’s probably because they didn’t have your city listed for whatever reason (or I missed it).
