The Macclesfield Supacross returns to South Park in October 2023

We received great feedback from racers and other park goers last year after running the event earlier in the cross calendar. The Macclesfield Supacross will return to South Park on Sunday 1st October 2023 with a newly designed course. The new course layout will take in more of the park's features (including hills!) whilst navigating its way around the enhanced ecology areas.

Parking is available at Macclesfield College (SK11 8LF), from where the route to the course will be signposted. Toilets, catering and sign-on will be provided in the park.

If you are new to the event or to cyclocross, then please be aware that entry is online only (use the button below). Whether you're a league regular or a local who fancies giving it a go, we'd love to see you in the park on the day.

There have been lots of changes in the park this year with new planting areas, and more protection around the trees this means the course will be a bit different. Please respect these special areas even when not racing.

The course & sign-on

On the start line listen to the commissaire’s instructions with regards to gridding at the start and ensure that you are in the correct area. Please do not cross the course when accessing the jet wash area and give way to other park users.

Sign on will be in the park itself - South Park SK11 8AT – look out for the gazebo located near the concrete skate park.
