Definition

Cyclocross is a multi-lap event featuring cross country trails, grassy fields, pavement, and natural and man-made obstacles where dismounting will be necessary. A typical lap length is between 1 km and 2.5 km. All riders race for approximately the same length of time, with faster riders completing more laps than slower riders.
