Race 3: Saturday, October 27, 2018 at Orangevale Park

After a two year hiatus, Orangevale Park is back! It was a favorite venue for many years to kick off a season. With wide open grass, winding woods, and the big horse paddock sand pit it has all the true 'cross features.

Course direction: Clockwise

Bibs: On the right

Course description: We’re changing things up at Orangevale Park and creating a more centralized venue. The start/finish is moved to the back part of the park, allowing spectators to see more of the course from the finish line. The course hits all the fun stuff with plenty of wide open grass, sand in the horse arena, stairs, off camber corners and the run through the woods. Not much elevation change at the park but there are some long false flats on grass that put your legs to work in between the punchy fun stuff.
