Cyclocross
- Chicago Cross Cup
- Wisconsin CX Series
- Other races
Two series carry the autumn: the Chicago Cyclocross Cup across Illinois and the Wisconsin CX Series north of the border. Neither lists the other, so this is both of them in one calendar — 30 races between 22 August and 6 December.
Chicago Cyclocross Cup
USA Cycling permitted, with a full day's programme from masters at 8am through to the juniors and the open categories at midday. Online entry closes midnight the Friday before; day-of costs $10 more and opens at 7am.
Wisconsin CX Series
The longer of the two and the earlier to start, opening under lights at Alpine Valley in August and running to the state championship in November. Early-bird entry closes the Wednesday before each race weekend and saves $10 plus a call-up.

Both series, in date order, with races that have already run dimmed. Saturday races are marked — cyclocross defaults to Sunday and the exceptions catch people out. 1 race could not be placed on the map.
