Opportunities to compete for UCI points in North American cyclocross races are notably fewer in 2026, with just five C1 races spread across a four-month calendar. Three of those C1 events return as part of the US Cyclocross Series (USCX), which begins September 19-20 at Rochester Cyclocross in upstate New York.
