2026 USA CYCLING UPDATE
USA Cycling sanctioning is undecided for the 2026 3CX MTB series. 3CX conducted a USAC survey to gather feedback from our racers and families for the 2025 series. The survey provided us with some excellent information about how our racers view the benefits and obstacles of USA Cycling sanctioning. There are also many factors we are considering from the race production side.
USA Cycling has been great to work with and we currently discussing how we might retain the benefits of USA Cycling, while reducing the obstacles based on our experience and rider feedback.
Our main objective is to reduce the cost of licenses for our riders, as well as streamline the process to the extent possible. We realize that USA Cycling only benefits a percentage of our riders, mainly Juniors. Due to insurance structure, it is not possible to apply USA Cycling to certain groups, it's all or nothing. While we can't offer licenses for free, we hope to provide pricing that will be nominal for riders that do not see a benefit. Several options are being explored.
Please check back for updates. To provide feedback, email travis@repackracing.com

About 3CX racing
History
3CX Racing is known for producing events that emphasize fast and flowy racing for all ages and skill levels.
The beloved CCCX name was updated the more modern, abbreviated "3CX" in 2025. The first CCCX was held at Ford Ord in 1997. Since then, CCCX has produced MTB, CX, Road and Enduro races every year (excluding COVID). CCCX has become a staple of Monterey County cycling.
Fort Ord Venue - Fort Ord Day Camp
Fort Ord is legendary for its ultra-fast trails. This is where you will lay down some serious speed without running into a lot of technical features. Average speeds can exceed 18 MPH for top finishers depending on the course. On that note - Fort Ord features nearly limitless course variation. The CCCX Race Series will take advantage of trails and features that are not often used to give riders a unique experience. We don't mind putting the extra work into course design!
Please park inside venue and not on the street.
