The USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships will take place for a second time in Louisville, Kentucky next season, returning to Joe Creason Park for the first time since 2018. USA Cycling confirmed dates and venues for 11 of its upcoming national championship events, making the announcement after a second return for ‘cross nationals in five years to Riverside Park in Hartford, Connecticut.

The weather conditions for the elite races on Sunday in Hartford for the 2022 Championships were similar to the wintry setting from 2017, with heavy snow showering Clara Honsinger (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) for her third consecutive elite women’s victory and Curtis White (Steve Tilford Foundation) for his first-ever elite men’s title. White had taken three consecutive silver medals in the elite men’s race, the first time in Louisville in 2018.
