The Marines are Coming!!!

With just days to go before the big day, we're happy to announce that the Marines will be on hand to help collect donations at Cross for Tots!

Also, we've got the pre-reg packets assembled and ready to go.  If you like to get your number early, feel free to stop by Hollywood Cycles Wed. 27th from 11:00am-6:00pm to pick up your number and drop off your donation.  Otherwise, we'll have the donation/packet pick-up tent open by 9:30 day of.  You can also register at the shop if you didn't choose to do so online.

Some things to remember...
1. PARKING - only volunteers, vendors, and Marines are allowed to park in the small lot along the East side of the park.  Parking is at the Yorktown Offices at 7101 York Ave S, then just a short walk/ride south to the course/donation tent.
2. Entry Fees - bring a $5 entry fee (cash or check) to cover USAC fees, plus a toy donation or cash/check made out to Toys for Tots.  One-day licenses are available for $10... sadly USAC didn't waive all the rider fees :(
3. T-shirts available! Commemorative tees will be available at the packet pick-up tent in the center of the field for $20.
4. This is for an awesome cause!  Please be respectful of the park and surrounding neighborhood.
5. EVERYONE IS WELCOME!  Bring your family & friends to enjoy the race and help support Toys for Tots!

You are a Holiday Hero!  Thank you ahead of time for coming out and helping make the holidays brighter for families in our community!

Just 8 days to go!!

Want to make a donation to CX for Tots, but can't make it to the event? Feel free to drop off your donation at Hollywood Cycles M-F 11:00am-6:00pm until Wed. 27th closing.

And, if you want to register in person or pick up your pre-registered number and drop off your donation before the event, we will have number pick-up on Wed. Nov. 27th at the shop from 11:00-6:00pm! Come in, donate, and pick up any last minute bike needs .. gus, tubes, gloves, a new LaMere cx frame...

If you haven't registered yet, you still can via the site: www.CrossForTots.blogspot.com on the "Register Here" page. (to avoid spam, there is a delay in seeing your entry online as we have to moderate it).


Winter Company has been amazingly generous and have offered to print sweet tshirts for the event.  There's a limited supply and they'll be onsite for purchase at the donation tent!



We've already topped our highest counts and I'm confident this will be the best course yet! Remember - parking is at the Yorktown Offices at 7101 York Ave S, behind the building - the lot alongside the playground is reserved for the neighborhood, vendors, and volunteers. 

Thank you!

More Sponsor Love for Cross for Tots!

Not only have our participation numbers just passed 2011's total of 65, we've got new sponsor love!

HUGE THANKS to Oliver & the Waffle Van and Buzzy from LaMere Cycles for donating cash to help pay for fun stuff like permits & porta-johns!  Although we didn't have a permit to have the Waffle Van on site, we will have the latest and greatest LaMere Cyclocross frames on display!

We also give major thanks and props to PK and Olympic Supply for donating swag for the participants!

We also collected a TON of course tape, stakes, and course material from the awesome folks of Mt Borah Epic Team after their Bayport CX race. The suv was packed to the roof!  Thank you!

It's thanks to all of you that this is going to be an awesome day!  Just 16 days to go!

Rockin' & Rollin'
