Cyclocross season has begun and to get riders prepped there are some practice sessions, clinics and some non-sanctioned races coming up.  Below is a list in chronological order of races and other cyclocross events here in MN and nearby across the border.  Details for some of the races in this post may still be being worked out as their status with USA Cycling may be pending or in the permit process.

January-2024 Minnesota Bike Tours, Rides, Races & Events Schedule

The 2024 bike season is filling up fast with all sorts of events, rides, tours, races and festivals.  I have compiled a chronological list of events by month with links to more information and some with online registration.  Earlier is better when planning which events you are going to participate in as some have a cap on the number of participants or registration deadlines. Use this event listing to save the date for the ones you want to participate in.

This post is a work in progress, so bookmark it and check back often for new event listings.  If you are an event organizer and would like to have your event listed in this post, send me an email (or visit my contact page) with the information and available links.
