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.
We're changing things up a bit this race, and adding a 5k run in the middle of the day!
Because... why not?!
Do you know anyone who loves running but has never seen a CX race? (Unthinkable to us too, but just in case!) Or do you have a hidden running talent that you're dying to show off to your CX friends?!
Join us for this two-lap CX5K running race, and add to your sloppy, messy, muddy fun!
Registration is only $10, and includes two laps of RFID chip timing. Race starts at 12:05 pm. See you there!
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 Sacramento Marina 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?
El Fira will have their wood-fired oven out at this race! Here's the menu:
Sausage Festivus: Beer Soaked British Banger, Cabbage Nirvana with Pepper Bacon & Caramelized Onion, Pesto Dijonnaise Sauce, Homemade Hot Pepper Vinegar, on a Toasty Special Bun.
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. If you take advantage of his help, please send a little love his way since he donates his time, skills and supplies to support our races.
The series championship will use your six best races out of the eight race series.
You will be issued a reusable RFID chip for the entire season. A $20 deposit will be added to your first race, and is fully refundable when you return the chip at the end of the season.
Online pre-registration will close on Thursday, December 14 at 6 pm.
