Get ready to race, ride and discover cyclocross. Prologue Cross takes over Elgin Park in the heart of Uxbridge for one action-packed day welcoming experienced racers, first-time riders and families. The 2026 event brings together competitive Ontario Cup racing, approachable ways to try the sport and the lively community atmosphere that makes cyclocross so much fun.
Course designer and cyclocross veteran Jeff Faulds will transform the park's varied terrain into a true CX challenge. Expect tight turns, changing surfaces, short climbs, sand, barriers, dismounts and fast transitions that will keep riders moving, thinking and fighting for every second.
Trying cyclocross for the first time? We've got you covered.
Try-a-CX offers adults an untimed, low-pressure introduction with no
racing experience required. Women ready to take the next step can line up for a dedicated,
timed beginner race in a supportive environment. Children aged 12 and under can get in on
the action too, with a fun course created especially for younger riders.
Bring a cyclocross, gravel or mountain bike, learn the basics and feel the excitement of riding a cyclocross course for yourself.
Prologue Cross is about more than racing. It's the full experience. Cheer on the action from the Second Wedge beer garden inside the little red barn, grab food and coffee from Bridge Social, and take in the music and professional race announcing. Uxbridge Physiotherapy will also be on site to support riders throughout the day.
Organized by the Uxbridge Cycling Club and Peterborough Cycling Club, with support from local partners, volunteers and the broader cycling community, Prologue Cross is where competition and community come together. Line up, lean in and join us for an unforgettable day of cyclocross in Uxbridge.
Prologue Cross is an Ontario Cycling sanctioned event, and you do not need to be an experienced racer to take part. Here is the whole day, start to finish.
Start
Almost anything works except a fancy road bike. Mountain, gravel, cross, single speed — even a strider.
The course splits here. Pick your line — both finish in the same place.
B line ride it
A low-pressure lap of the real course for women, adults and kids. No licence, no category, no results to live down.
A line race it
Register by midnight on Thursday, October 15. Categories follow the Ontario Cup CX structure, which is admittedly a little complicated. The short version:
Use your age on December 31, 2027, not today's. Geez — math.
