• The South Chicago Wheelmen again host the series opener of the 2025 Chicago Cyclocross Cup this Sunday 9/28 at Glenwood Academy CX in Glenwood, IL.
  • On the South side of the city, set your GPS to 187th N and N Pleasant Street Glenwood, IL 60425. The entrance at the stop light we’ve used in the past is closed so this is a new entrance. Please drive slowly through the campus to the parking area. This is an active school with children, so please drive carefully.
  • Registration closes on Friday night over on BikeReg.com. It is way easier to reg online as opposed to at the venue (which you still can do), and we’ll have your CrossResults.com points if you reg online. If you sign up at the venue you’ll be staged at the back of the grid.
  • Look for preliminary staging here some time on Saturday. As this is the first race of the series, everyone will be staged by CrossResults.com points. Then on 10/19 at Big Marsh the first row of 8 will be staged by series points and everyone else by CXR points. See the Rules & FAQ page for more details. Please check the preliminary staging on Saturday and email us on Saturday if there are any errors as it’s a lot harder (if at all) to fix Sunday at the race. Thanks!
  • Please renew your USAC annual license BEFORE Saturday evening before you go to bed.
  • Weather looks sublime!
  • Unbeatable Eatables sandwiches Food Truck will be onsite from 11-3. If you have dietary restrictions please pack your own food/drinks. There’s also plenty of stores on Halsted St just around the corner.
  • Parking: You can use any parking lot. Plus use the grass. DO NOT park in any cottage (residence) driveway.
  • Registration will be located near or next to officials at the finish line.
  • Reg is NOT in Kenny‘s tent. If you are lost or not sure where to go and what to do… just listen for his voice.
  • Bib numbers are always on your left on the side of your jersey. Not on your back, not on your butt, not on your helmet or handlebars. Please help our officials and timing/scorer place you accurately in the results to keep the day running smoothly.
  • Staging will be at the North side of the access road at 187th St.
