Virginia’s Blue Ridge Go Cross presented by Fat Tire is more than just a race – it’s a full-blown adventure in Roanoke, VA, the heart of East Coast cycling.
This C1/C2 event kicks off the Trek USCX series, drawing pro and amateur cyclists from all over the US and Europe. The exciting 3 km course at Fallon Park features barriers, a flyover, stair climbs, and a sand pit – testing skills and endurance. But the experience goes well beyond the course.
Meanwhile, spectators will soak up the action with incredible 360-degree views and lively commentary from the in-field beer garden. They’ll enjoy refreshing Fat Tire Ales or non-alcoholic beers from Athletic Brewing as well as food trucks, exhibitors, and plenty of opportunities for heckling. Don’t miss the Fat Tire bike giveaway; the Friday welcome event performance by legendary 90’s cover band, GAK!; or the fan-favorite Go Cross Beer Mile team relay on Sunday with the costume theme: 90’s Blockbusters!
For those not racing, Roanoke offers endless adventures. Hike the Appalachian Trail, explore breweries on an e-bike tour, or cool off with a river tube trip all within a short 30-minute drive or less from the race. Downtown’s vibrant arts scene boasts galleries, museums, and local shops.
Experience the thrill of cyclocross, explore Roanoke’s charm, and create unforgettable memories. Go Cross promises excitement and discovery for racers, cheerleaders, and explorers alike.
