Glenwood CCC Cyclocross 2026
South Chicago Wheelmen host this ChiCrossCup cyclocross round in Glenwood, with mud, barriers, and tight corners on the fall Illinois CX calendar.
The vibe
Mud, barriers, tight corners, Chicago-style
Cyclocross season in Illinois runs through the ChiCrossCup, and Glenwood CCC is one of its steady fixtures, hosted year after year by the South Chicago Wheelmen. Expect the standard CX diet — barriers to run up and over, tight corners that punish bad lines, and mud if the fall weather cooperates (or doesn’t, depending how you look at it).
It’s a good entry point if you’re new to cyclocross racing but have some road or MTB miles in your legs — the ChiCrossCup fields are welcoming to first-timers, and the short lap format means you’re never far from the action even if you get gapped early.
