For riders seeking a unique sports event, the Cube Cyclocross is definitely something to get involved in.
Not your average bike race, bikers will complete a series of laps while encountering obstacles like mud, hills,
sharp turns, and barriers. Some of these obstacles may even require the biker to jump off the bike and carry it,
so get ready for mud, road, and sweat!
Race Dates: Oct. 25 | Nov. 1 | Nov. 8
The race will take place at Nature park located at 5 West 3 North in Rexburg.

Cyclocross racing is a unique sport. Many have never heard of it. Its origins began in Europe in the early 1900’s.
It started as road racers would race each other from town to town and would cut through farmer's fields,
over fences or take any other shortcuts in order to make it to the town first.
This eventually became an official sport and spread its way throughout Europe.
Making its way to the U.S., Cyclocross has now become quite popular with regular competitions in Berkeley
and Santa Cruz, CA and Portland, OR.
