Located in Utah, the Ogden CX Park is a brand new cyclocross course that was remodeled into a park from being a landfill only years ago. The park’s opening, partnered by TRP, kicks off with a race that is set to draw some of the big names in cyclocross on Sunday after a week filled with racing, including CrossVegas on Wednesday and CrossReno on Saturday.
