Participation Details

Fifth Street Cross began as a cyclocross bike race series, and you can participate in both. You can register for both for a flat fee of $20. So much fun to be had, so much racing to do! Scoring for the run/ride will be based on your place in the run and the first bike race (4x laps) only.
