2014 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships Communique 2

Course for the Age 14 and Under (U15) Juniors:
In order to provide competition over multiple laps and yet keep the races to the proper number of minutes, we have worked with the Staff to establish a modified course for the 14 and Under racers. Our intent was purely to shorten the length to achieve the targeted lap time, not to eliminate any technical challenges. Therefore, it is slightly shorter than the adult course and we expect the racers to be able to complete 2-3 laps within the scheduled time.  The modified course does include both passes through the pit.
A map of the modified course will be posted at Registration/Packet Pickup as well as at the race venue. In addition, there will be signs on course indicating the locations of the 14 and Under (U15) cut offs.
The planned modifications are:
1) along the side of the mesa to eliminate the eastern most steep climb and descent
2) eliminate the small loop next to the Pre-J course
Note that these are NOT the ones marked on the previously published maps.
We reserve the right to shorten the course further if conditions warrant. We will send out another communiqué if that becomes necessary.
