In CityCross everyone is a winner. There will be races for Under 12’s, Youths, Juniors, Women Only, Novices, Seniors and Veterans. CityCross is a bike race and a party all rolled into one and as much fun to watch as to race.  Spectating is free, and positively encouraged.

With trade stands, artists exhibiting and artisan food stalls and a purpose built challenging course in the grounds of Rowntrees Park the event has all the hall marks of a big cycling fun packed party for all the family.

David Short, i-Travel York programme manager said, “I am delighted that Morvelo have approached us with a view to staging the event in York which we are pleased to support. All the evidence shows that if you get people into cycling in a fun environment then they are more likely to take it up as their preferred choice of travel. Cycling keeps you fit, is better for the environment, reduces traffic congestion and is cheap!”

Emma Osenton, the organiser from Mills Events says, “CityCross is very popular. We have run these events in Halifax, Leeds and other UK cities and we are delighted to be able to bring CityCross to York, an iconic cycling city.
