The "Belgian Cup" will be a celebration of cyclocross.
Individual races will be 40 and 25 minutes to provide participants with the full cyclocross experience while also serving as training and practice for the SaskCup Cyclocross series. Experienced racers (Cat 1/2, Cat 3, Cat 4, and Senior Women) will race for approximately 40 minutes; new racers (Cat 5, Cat 6, SCA members without UCI race licenses) will race for approximately 20 minutes. Both groups will compete on the same course.
All races start at 3PM, sign-on starts at 2PM
The first race in the series (September 11) will be staged based on a one-lap 'cross Time Trial (starting at 2PM). You don't have to do the time trial to race, but the fastest TT times will be staged at the front of the starting grid. Subsequent races will be staged based on the overall finishing order in the Belgian CUp Series. For more information, contact Scott Bell scott dot bell at usask dot ca.

The "Little Belgian"
The "Little Belgian" kids cyclocross is a new event that will focus on bike handling and
beginning race skills. Any youth who have participated in Category 6 races or other bike
racing events (not including kids crit or similar) should participate in the Belgian Cup
short race.
Little Belgian events will start a week before the Belgian Cup on September 4th (there
will be a race on the first day); the location is Sidney Buckwold Park in
Saskatoon (North of Degeer between McKercher and Boychuk). The most accessible parking is the parking lot beside Roland Michner School off Degeer St.
The Little Belgian will be divided into a practice and bike handling session from 1pm
to 2pm with a short race at 2:15. Races will take place on a slightly modified cyclocross
course. The length of the course will be shortened to allow for multiple laps but all normal
cyclocross features will be present (corners, dismounts, running sections, etc.). Kids
participating in the Little Belgian must be experienced on a "2 wheeler," no trikes or
training wheels. Race duration will be 10 to 15 minutes.
Member ship Requirements for the "Little Belgian" Kids ‘Cross Series: Racers must hold a SCA
membership ($30 or $20 if a family member is already an SCA member + $10 for Cycledelia club
