Rockburn Cross -- Event #5 of the 2026 BikeReg Cyclocross Super Series

Venue and Course: 

Rockburn Cross is located within Rockburn Branch Park; a multi-use facility situated conveniently off I-95 in the Baltimore/Washington Corridor. There is a playground adjacent to the main course and the Li'l Belgian's course. Weather permitting, the Rockburn Skills Park  will be open and is a challenge for anyone but can also be an all-ages family activity. There will be a beer garden with offerings from Jailbreak Brewing and 2 Bold Chefs will be on hand with delicious Mediterranean food. 
AFC strives to provide the best CX course in the Mid-Atlantic and those who have raced here would agree it's always a challenge! There are super-fast woods sections, power sections, some (but never enough!) downhill recovery, hills and multiple areas with sand/gravel. It's a course that suits everyone at least part of the time!

Registration, Entry Fees, & Licensing:  

All registration and payment for this event, including race day registration, will be conducted through BikeReg.  Additional entries are offered at $20 ($25 on race day) when purchased in the same BikeReg shopping cart.  If the entries are purchased separately during the pre-registration period, contact us for a partial refund; on event day a coupon code will be made available at the day-of registration table to achieve the same discounted price.  Entry fees will increase to $50 for adults and $25 for Junior Men & Women for race day registration, to reflect the day-of surcharge.  There will be no in-person sales at the event -- register online, either at home before coming out or on your phone at the event.  You MUST present your racing license (if you have one) or 1-Day receipt in order to be issued a bib, and you should also be prepared to show your confirmation email.  In order to expedite your entry, make sure you have completed the online waiver before approaching the day-of registration table.

Once pre-registered riders have been assigned bibs, this page will re-open for late/day-of registration in the early afternoon of Friday, 11/13/2026, and will remain open through event day; event day check-in will open by 7:30 AM.  Check-in and registration for all races will close 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the race.  There will be no exceptions made to this rule -- plan to show up timely for the race you want to enter.

A USA Cycling racing license is required for entry.  Riders who do not provide a USAC Annual racing license # at registration will be assessed an additional $15 for a Beginner 1-Day license.  This license is valid for entry only in fields that are open to Novice Men, Women, or Non-Binary riders.  For all other fields, you must present proof of an active USAC racing license (or a printed Authorization to Ride) showing your Cyclocross category and Racing Age.

Staging & Call Ups: 

Riders shall be staged in order of their assigned bib number.  Rockburn Cross is the fifth race of the 2026 BikeReg Cyclocross SuperSeries; therefore in fields eligible for SuperSeries points, bibs will be assigned to the first 8 riders (i.e., the front row) in order of their position in the Super Series standings on CrossResults.com ( https://www.crossresults.com/superseries ); remaining riders will be assigned bibs in order of the riders’ CrossResults.com ranking points; any remaining unranked riders will be assigned bibs by registration date & time.  For the Novice Men & Cat. 4/Novice Women, riders will be assigned bibs by registration date & time.  For all race categories, the first 4 positions in the third row are optionally available to the Race Director for discretionary call-ups.  Race day entries will be assigned remaining bib numbers on a first come, first served basis; riders registering after the close of pre-registration or on race day are not entitled to special treatment based on their position in the SuperSeries points standings or their CrossResults.com ranking.
