2015 Ellison Park Cyclocross - TECHNICAL GUIDE HISTORY-COURSE DESCPRIPTION & MAPS

EVENT and ELLISON PARK HISTORY

The Full Moon Vista - Ellison Park Cyclocross Festival began in 2008 as the first sanctioned cyclocross event in a Monroe County Park. The event was awarded a 1-day Class 2 UCI event in 2010 and advanced to a 2-day Class 2 UCI in 2012. In 2014 the event was granted Class 1 status on Saturday and continued as a C2 on Sunday. For 2015 the event will continue to be a Class 1 for Saturday and a Class 2 for Sunday.

Ellison Park was the first park in Monroe County, donated as a gift from Frank T. Ellison in 1927.

The original name for the area was Tryon, now referred to as “The lost city of Tryon”. This was the first settlement in Monroe County, which was once located in Ellison Park and was established in 1797. Tryon was the only settlement between Oswego (80 miles east) and Lewiston (80 miles west).

The Fort Schuyler Gravity Check section of the course highlights a log cabin originally built in 1721 as an English trading post. A replica was re-built in 1938 in the same location.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Cyclocross races have been held at Ellison Park since 2008. The 2.8 km course is grassy, hilly and is located in an area of the park that was carved by glaciers. Each lap of the course contains approximately 256 feet of vertical climbing per lap. The race course includes 1 man-made barrier set, one natural barrier obliging riders to dismount their bikes and a “Belgian staircase” located adjacent from the finish line. The double-sided pit is located at mid-point on the course and is clearly labeled.

Overall, the course contains a variety of terrains including grass covered slopes, a section of paved road and dirt sections. The course winds through a section of old growth evergreens, uses natural features as barriers and takes riders past 200 year old oak and maple trees. One portion of the course races past a log cabin and through an adjacent gully before hitting the pavement on Park Road, known as the “Fort Schuyler Gravity Check”.

There is a run up/descent (depending on the direction of the course) named the “Chutes & Ladders”. It is located behind the finish area - expect a demanding run-up! There is a second run-up/descent that is about 50 meters from “Chutes and Ladders” – this run-up, called the “Elite Run-Up”, will be utilized by the men’s and women’s elites ONLY. There is also an uphill & downhill named the “Ellison Alpe d’Huez” adjacent to the finish line. This downhill adds some speed to the course, right in front of the spectators!

The Start section is separate from the race course and is only used for the start of each race.

The course direction will be reversed for the second day. COURSE MAPS Course may change due to weather conditions. Please note the location of Start and Finish lines.

Upon athlete and team manager arrival, please go to the finish area and registration as soon as possible.

Day 1 on Saturday (C1) is clockwise in direction (race course is 2815 meters in length). Day 1 start section is 200 meters to course entrance Day 2 on Sunday (C2) is counter-clockwise in direction (race course is 2815 meters in length). Day 2 start section is 275 meters to course entrance
