No waiting in lines on Sunday! Go to number pick-up/pre-registration on Saturday October 3rd at Alpenrose from 11am to 2pm. Anyone that pre-registered can pick up their number and anyone else can register for Sunday's race. Then you can go straight to your start on Sunday!

You can register for the series online or register for the October 4 race online (before noon on October 3).

Racers may also preregister by sending a completed OBRA waiver (PDF) and check payable to "Club Vivo" to:
Crusade Registration

MUST be received no later than Thursday before the event. If it is not received by Thursday, you will have to pay at the event and will be refunded at the next event.

If you pre-register and you already have your Cross Crusade number, you can sign in a "self-service" line. If you need a number, there will be a separate line for pre-registered riders to pick-up numbers.

If you prefer to wait, day-of-event registration will be available at each race venue. Save time by printing out a waiver (PDF) and completing it at home.
