Cross for Tots 2013 is Alive!

Back for it's third year and better than ever, Cross for Tots is returning to MN!!!  Stay tuned to this website for all the fun, info, and course sneak-previews.   In the right-hand column, there's a spot to enter your email to get all the updates straight to your inbox (you will not receive messages for any other crap).

Don't know what Cross for Tots is?

Cross for Tots is an cyclocross event where local MN families receive the greatest benefit!  Rather than charge race fees, racers/riders are asked to bring a toy or monetary donation for Toys for Tots, our favorite charity!  The course is still tough and fun like any other course (if not BETTER!), and all proceeds go to Toys for Tots.

In 2011 we raised $305 and 2 huge cases of toys.  This year's goal is to DOUBLE THAT!!!  Not a racer?  No worries!  All people are welcome to come watch the fun and donate to a great cause.  Bring your friends and family and come watch the fun.

Our initial sponsors include:  Hollywood Cycles, Girl Fiend Cycling Team, Donkey Label, and LaMere Cycles - HUGE THANKS!!!

Here are some highlights (more info to come and come often):

- New park!  Adams Hill Park, Richfield, MN
- Gift-wrapped barriers
- Singlespeed Santa race!  (wear a holiday-themed costume and race your singlespeed!)
- Held under USAC Event Permit
