Since being published back in February, the UCI cyclocross calendar has had a few date switches, and since we’ve been hearing questions like, “When is Holy Week?” more and more often, we thought we’d republish the now-updated calendar.

While Raleigh’s Midsummer Night’s ’Cross at DealerCamp in July might be the unofficial start of the season, the first UCI race will take place in Pennsylvania at Nittany Lion Cross at the Trexlertown velodrome on September 8. Then, a week later on September 18, Sven Nys will make his US appearance at CrossVegas. “Holy Week” will be held on September 28 and run through October 6, beginning with Gloucester and ending with Providence. One of the “tough choice” weekends of the season will hit in early November, when the Cincy3 weekend clashes with the NEPCX weekend at Cycle-Smart International. Additionally, one obvious change is that the USGP races, while they’ll continue separately, have had name changes to reflect the series’ cancellation. And the last big race, the World Championships, will be held February 1-2 in Hoogerheide.
