♠The Prologue Experience

Get ready to race, ride, watch and discover cyclocross. Prologue Cross takes over Elgin Park in the heart of Uxbridge for one action-packed day welcoming experienced racers, first-time riders, spectators, kids and families. The 2026 event brings together competitive Ontario Cup racing, approachable ways to try the sport and the lively community atmosphere that makes cyclocross so much fun — especially for spectators.

Prologue Cross is about more than racing. It's the full experience. Cheer on the action from the Second Wedge beer garden inside the little red barn, grab food and free coffee from Bridge Social, and take in the music and professional race announcing. Uxbridge Physiotherapy will also be on site to support riders throughout the day.

Course designer and cyclocross veteran Jeff Faulds will transform the park's varied terrain into a true CX challenge. Expect tight turns, changing surfaces, short climbs, sand, barriers, dismounts and fast transitions that will keep riders moving, thinking and fighting for every second.

A rider high-fiving spectators on the Prologue Cross course Trying cyclocross for the first time? We've got you covered.
