Race technical guide is now posted!

For a more complete look at the details of this year's Snap Fitness Alma Grand Prix of Cyclocross & 5K, please check out this year's race technical guide! Be sure to pay close attention to the call-up procedures this year (which are based first on your USA Cycling ranking at the close of pre-registration, and then on the order you "late" register on race day). Pre-registered racers will be staged in front of day-of registrants. Any questions please ask! (racepromoter / at / gmail / .com)
