Fibrax Wrexham Roads Club welcomes the League to Ysgol Bro Alun and Alyn Waters Country Park. The course is located between the villages of Gwersyllt and Llay and takes in woodland from Alyn Waters Country Park and the playing field of Ysgol Bro Alun. There’s plenty to challenge competitors. If dry, Alyn Waters will be fast and free flowing. If wet, this race has long slippery stretches of woodland track and field sections that can be amongst the muddiest in the North Wales calendar. The school playing fields offer viewers a panoramic view of at least 5o% of the course.
Sign-on will take place on the school playing field.
Dogs off lead are not welcome.

League Tables NWCX League standings will be based on best 6 results from 9 races – riders must race a minimum of 4 races to qualify for awards.

Single frameset rule: to limit costs and entry barriers NWCX operates a single frameset rule. You must use the bike you start with. No spare bikes are permitted once the race is underway.
Knobbly tyres rule: cyclocross takes place on grass, mud and gravel surfaces. It is essential for competitor safety that knobbly tyres are fitted. Riders with inappropriate tyres will be asked to withdraw on safety grounds. This applies equally to children.
Competitors retain race numbers for their body and handlebars. Numbers are issued to competitors at initial registration. Riders are instructed to retain and re-use their numbers all season therefore simplifying registration. Please keep your number safe between races. Replacement numbers will be charged £5 per set.
Return of timing chips. Competitors hand back their race chips at the finish. Each chip cost NWCX £44+vat. You will be billed if you fail to return your chip immediately post-race.
