Genesee Valley Park is Monroe County’s largest park, is located about 3 miles from the City of Rochester and was designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead. Olmstead’s other great works include New York City’s Central Park. With the park’s rolling landscape and old-growth trees, this park has gorgeous natural terrain perfect for our international-caliber course. Conveniently located within the city limits and just outside of the campus of the University of Rochester - it’s minutes from the airport, restaurants, shopping, hotels and bike paths. Our course is challenging and diverse and the venue provides an excellent host location for a UCI level event – with spectator and amateur parking right next to the course. For big teams with vehicles and rigs to display, there is a dedicated, level-ground, parking lot area in the center of our venue – right next to the finish line. Facilities both on course and off will be to everyone’s liking as well. We’ve also added a “club row” to provide amateur riders/teams a space for their team tents. 2021 USCX CYCLOCROSS SERIES New for 2021, we are excited to be the first race in the USCX Series. The Men’s and Women’s UCI ELITE C1 & C2 races will be LIVE on GCN (Global Cycling Network) – broadcast to a world-wide audience. NEW COURSE FEATURE FOR 2021 We’ve added a flyover! So this means that the “technical side” of the course will be run in reverse on day 2! TECHNICAL GUIDE Rochester Cyclocross (RCX) is the premier cyclocross race in New York State. This document provides the 2021 event’s technical guidelines, information and regulations for officials, team personnel and athletes.
