Professional cycling events are held each afternoon, featuring some of the world's top male and female cyclocross racers.
The event also features eight locally-brewed beers from Rohrbach's, ROC Brewing, and Genesee Brewery, along with food from Good Smoke Barbecue.
"Just bringing international cycling back to Rochester. So it's wonderful to use this park, it's a very European course, one of the only ones in the United States. We're excited to get all of these Europeans and professional athletes to come in and do this," says Event Director Scott Page.
Race announcer, Joe Jefferson, will be on the mic at 9:30am each day. Amateur racing starts at 10:00am and the professionals hit the course at 1:15pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The course will be reversed for Sunday to change up the event.
The event is the only two day International cyclocross event in New York State.
