2018 brings you the newest and most exciting event in the Tour de Manc programme. Welcome to the X-Manc. This mint event hosts Cyclocross/Funcross racing as well as providing spectators of all ages a great spectacle, hospitality experience and an enjoyable atmosphere. We’ll have music, bobble hat stalls and some great local food and beer.

X-Manc Cyclocross /Funcross

This part of the event caters for the experienced Cyclocross riders and novice/newbies willing to give Cyclocross a go. The race day itself will comprise the following categories:

• Junior: Under 12 (mixed)
• Youth: 12 to 16 (mixed)
• Intermediate Women (16+)
• Intermediate Men (16+)
• Novice Women
• Novice Men
• Open Women (18+)
• Open Men (18+)
• Veteran Women (over 40)
• Veteran Men (over 50)

We have some great Prizes which will be awarded to the winners, courtesy of our Prize sponsor Dexshell UK. 

For novices, it’s an ideal time to try something new in a friendly, fun environment and then enjoy the rest of the day watching others. You can ride the novice race on a cyclocross bike, hybrid bike or mountain bike – and even a road bike with 28mm+ treaded tyres may be suitable depending on ground conditions. 

Our course is on varied terrain set out in the Country Park. The adults course is around 1.3Km in length, will have several obstacles. Novices needn’t worry – there are no steep hills but there are still plenty of challenges. 

X-Manc Food, Beer and Music

In conjunction with the Cyclocross/Funcross racing, there will be food and beer concessions – to satisfy those who seek to indulge in the best local food and beer Manchester has to offer. 

Every-Manc #Inclusive ride

We have a parallel event running for riders with disabilities, running at the same venue on a flat tarmac course. Adapted bikes and supervision will be provided, so that the day can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of ability.
