This is California XC Marathon done right: long miles, high tempo, and panoramic NorCal + Mid-State backdrops. 3CX is building flow-first, less-tech courses where fitness and line choice decide the day. Results matter. Series points matter.

- Official timing, podiums, and series standings
- Team & club energy—banners, tents, bragging rights

Launch is imminent—get on the list before the first wave goes.
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.
