Miller Park packs a punch in a narrow space. This sliver of park by the marina offers up a blank canvas of grass for the course designer to challenge you in many different ways. There's enough hillside to keep your legs burning and the change of the tides in the river will keep things exciting.
Getting There
Miller Park is located just southwest of downtown Sacramento.
Address to use for directions: Marina View Dr, Sacramento, CA 95818
Parking
Parking is free. The race venue runs the length of Marina View Drive, so that's the street we recommend you plug into your GPS. (If you search Google Maps for "Miller Park" it takes you to the wrong spot!) If parking is full along Marina View Drive, please park along Miller Park Circle. Please do NOT parking in the parking lot at the end of Ramp Drive.
What can families do?
Other than admiring the gorgeous view of the river from almost any point of the race course, there is not a lot for families to do at the race venue. However, downtown Sacramento with all its museums, parks and restaurants is just a couple miles away from the venue.
What is there to eat?
Fuzion Eatz food truck will be at this race.
Will there be beer?
Unfortunately, the City of Sacramento was requiring almost $800 worth of security to have a beer garden, so the Yolo Brew beer garden will not be at this race. Thankfully, they're located just minutes away.

Course description:
Miller Park's riverfront venue produces a nearly all grass course with the exception of the paved start/finish. If the river level is low enough, we'll dive down to the beach for a little sand and a run-up as well. There's some punchy elevation change on this shorter course which will provide for some close and exciting racing.
Race support: Pete Tipshus, owner of Happy Trails Mechanical Support and long-time supporter of Sacramento Cyclocross, will be out at this race if you have a last-minute bike crisis.
