Riders at a past Trek CX Cup.

press release: Trek Bicycle will host the 2022 Trek CX Cup and World Cup Waterloo at Trek Headquarters in Waterloo. Trek CX Cup is way more than a cyclocross race; it’s a full weekend of fun! The year’s best cyclocross event kicks off with amateur races on Friday and Saturday, “Legends Races” where costumes are the norm and fun is the only objective, kid’s events featuring a mini-CX course, and up-close viewing of the World Cup race on Sunday. World Cup Waterloo is one of only two pro races hosted in the US.

Fun is all around the course, including plenty of spots to hang out and enjoy amazing food and drink, the Velo barber giving fresh haircuts in the woods, a Secret Bar with dance party (if you can find it) and Project One painted cows. 

Cyclocross racing is a great sport for novice riders who are looking for fall activities. While it offers challenges for all skill levels, it is generally one of the safer forms of bike racing, thanks to slower speeds and soft ground. Trek CX Cup is free to attend.
