ChiCrossCup - The Best Amateur CX Series in the Country

Another great Groundhog PSI-clocross weekend out in Woodstock hosted by PSIMET. Results are in the normal places, all linked here for you. There was a mix up with dates on USACycling.org and Saturday results will be posted there soon. This does not affect series scoring or CrossResults.com rankings.
Next up the series heads back closer to the city of Chicago for Wheeling Heritage Park CX.
We are now 2/3’s of the way through the 2025 series. With the recent “cyclocross-y” weather, now would be a GREAT time to get your bike(s) serviced at your local bike shop. They are there, ready, and waiting to help get your trusty steed through the rest of the season!
And finally… xXx Racing would like to share this folder of photos from Big Marsh with you. If you have more photos please share them below.

2025 Groundhog Psi-clocross Preview

November 6, 2025

Phil : Do you ever have déjà vu, Mrs. Lancaster?
Mrs. Lancaster : I don’t think so, but I could check with the kitchen.

Why is this race called Groundhog PSI-Clocross? Well, in 1992 the downtown square of Woodstock, IL was used to film the movie Groundhog Day. Rob Curtis and the PSIMET crew have carried some parts of the movie into the venue.

This is a double race weekend brought to you by PSIMET Racing at Groundhog PSI-clocross. Note
there are TWO BikeReg pages, Saturday and Sunday. If you want to race both days you need to register for BOTH days. Each race day is separate so there is not a multi-race discount across days. The multi-race discount still does apply for the same day. Online reg for Sunday’s race will still close at midnight on Friday, but online reg for Saturday’s races will close at midnight on Thursday (tonight). Finally, Saturday’s results will affect staging on Sunday, meaning overall series points and CrossResults.com points will be updated Saturday night for Sunday’s race. If you have any questions, email us.

Preliminary Staging will be posted here for Saturday and Sunday.

There is plenty of parking throughout the park. As with all previous years there is NO PARKING ON
THE GRASS. This is the strictest rule the park and city have for the facility. This also means no vehicles on the grass to drop off gear early in the morning <looks at masters teams>. We say this every year and yet it still ends up being a problem at some point in the day. No cars on grass anywhere for any length of time. Police WILL BE PRESENT all day and may be ticketing

Speaking of tents – There will no on-site security overnight but there will be regular police patrols
through the park Friday and Saturday night for those that would like to leave tents or gear overnight at their own risk.

You will receive a different bib number each day for each race. Please do not re-use your Saturday
number on Sunday.

Enter from either of the Park’s North entrances (Kishwaukee Valley Rd or Jackson St). Parking is
available throughout the park. The entrance on South St as well as the lower lot near that entrance will be closed to allow for staging.

There is an Open Event at Noon on both days. The course will be shortened. Everyone is invited to
ride the course. No Fee. 15 Minute event. This is your opportunity to try a cross course or wear a great costume or throwback kit and ride with your friends. We are hoping we can get some of the family friendly circus of the CCC of old to help cheer everyone on. All can participate we just need you to sign up so we have a waiver. Sign up on the BikeReg page or we will have waivers available on site at reg. if you have already registered to race that day you do not need to fill out an additional waiver.

Food: Perk and Pickle Food Truck will be on site all day long serving breakfast, lunch and an early
dinner if needed. Serving hours will be from 8am-4pm. The menu for race day is available on their site now – https://perknpickle.com/woodstock-cyclocross-1

Weather: In the event of rain or mud there is no water source readily available within the park so please plan for your own needs and refrain from making a mess or destroying turf outside the course. The weather forecast is for very cold temps on Sunday, so please pack and dress accordingly.

There won’t be much if any daylight left after the last race ends, so please plan accordingly. Also if you can, please help PSIMET tear down the course on Sunday so they aren’t doing it all in the dark.

There is an informal Car Show that we are hosting on site like we did last year. If you bring a notable car for display (classic, antique, etc.) we will have an area for you to park at the top of the hill near the food truck. ~~You will also receive a free food truck meal and/or beer garden voucher from the PSIMET coordinator.~~

Kerrie Kurth will be hosting a Canine Cross on Sunday any time between 10:30-11:30am. You will run a course with your pup. Award for fastest and not so fastest. Donations go toward All Herding Breed Dog Rescue. There may be “recovery with puppies” available as well!

If you’re interested in looking over the filming locations for the movie there is a great map for self-guided tours here: http://www.woodstockgroundhog.org/walking-tour/

Remember to use #psiCX on X and Instagram.

The Course: Hill repeats and toilet bowls. Actually it is a similar course as previous years with a few small modifications. We will run the same course but different directions for both days with minor variations. Day 1 Counter-clockwise and Day 2 is Clockwise. See the map here and you can un/check Saturday vs. Sunday.
