LCCA Team Cyclo Cross Champs 2027
Sunday 7th February 2027
The traditional end to the Cyclo Cross season in the South East - the LCCA and friends once again host the popular LCCA Team Champs for the 2nd year running at Cyclopark. This fantastic venue and course will be based on the National Trophy race hosted in November, with a spectator-friendly course featuring shortish laps and a trip through a marquee - a great event to watch as well as race.
We will also be presenting the overall Challenge Tires London and South East Cyclo Cross League champions and the aeightracer Sussex League Overall Champions. These will be held in the Marquee, split into two sessions:
- Youth U14/U16 and Under 12/10/8 - 11.30am
- Junior, Senior and Masters 40/50/60/70+ - 14.45
Both sessions will be combined with the on-the-day Team Champs presentations.
For the Overall titles there will be a podium, prizes and trophies for the top 3 in each of the 23 categories.

If you raced in the Challenge Tires London and South East League this season, we will use your existing bike-mounted number/timing chip and back jersey number. If this is your first race of the season, go to sign-on to collect your number pack. The team captain must visit sign-on to collect team stickers 1-4 for helmets. Teams choose which rider starts in which numbered bay - commissaires will check this at gridding.
