SAVANNAH, Ga. - Oct. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Savannah Volkswagen is a title sponsor for the upcoming Savannah Superprestige Cyclocross Race, a weekend event that includes racing through varying terrain and obstacles. It will take place on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015, and Nov. 8, 2015, at Oglethorpe Speedway Park. The race is set to begin at 3 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. on Sunday, and is free for spectators.
There will be categories for Men, Women, and Junior racers, with medals and awards being presented to Juniors, and Men and Women Cat 4 and 5 winners. The total available prize money is $4,500+, with cash prizes being awarded in additional categories.
Savannah Volkswagen is elated to be presenting this event, which many residents look forward to, as it provides an incredible experience. Typically taking place in Fall and Winter, this race consists of multiple laps around a short course, on which racers endure pavement, grass, sand, wooded trails, steep hills, and other obstacles. Certain points will have them dismounting their bike and carrying them as they navigate obstructions.
Events like the Savannah Superprestige Cyclocross Race are a wonderful opportunity for local residents to enjoy everything our community has to offer, and come out for a weekend of excitement with friends and family.
“Cyclocross is exhilarating to watch and experience,” said Bryan Schoeffler, race organizer with the Savannah Wheelmen. “We are excited to bring this race to Savannah once again after a one-year hiatus.”
The sport originated in Europe and has quickly become popular in the U.S. cycling scene. Its culture has developed in the States as a fun, relaxed environment with all sorts of sideline antics to encourage racers to persevere. Compared with other forms of cycle racing, tactics are fairly straightforward, and the emphasis is on the rider's aerobic endurance and bike-handling skills.
We’re pleased to be presenting this event alongside The Savannah Wheelman and Vinnie Go Go’s. Other sponsors include Ameris Bank, Corona Light, Powerade/Dasani, and Royal Restrooms.
