October 12, 2011 (Toronto, ON) – The Toronto Cross has upped the ante this year featuring an under the lights race on Oct. 15 – a first for Ontario CX as far as we know – as organizers confirmed, “As a result of testing of supplemental lighting the Oct 15 race will be under the lights.”

Veteran Ontario crosser and winner of the recent Hillbilly Hustle, Nathan Chown (Team CF), commented, “There have been practice races (under the lights) but nothing official so this should be interesting. I did Diegem in Belgium at night and it was pretty intense.”

Day One on Oct. 15th features the first race taking place at 5:30pm with the Elites racing at 8:20pm at the Ski Hill Centennial Park at Rathburn & Renforth in Toronto with $1,300 in prizes. Day Two on Sunday, Oct. 16 is part of the OCA Southern Ontario Series and the first race is at 12 noon. Organizers added, “…for your planning purposes please expect the schedule to be something like this…”
