Inclusion Policy

The Northampton Cyclocross organization firmly believes that all attendees should have an equal opportunity to participate in our event regardless of their race, color, religion, disability, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, or national origin. We recognize that participation in sport is a human right. We strive to create an enjoyable event for those currently active in cyclocross in all the different ways they participate, and an inviting one for those who have not joined us yet. It is our obligation as race organizers and athletes to create a safe and welcoming space for athletes, staff, and spectators from different backgrounds, identities, and abilities, and this event is part of our work to foster such spaces. The Northampton Cyclocross follows all rules and regulations for participation and inclusion outlined by USA Cycling. Harassment of participants protected under those standards will not be tolerated. Anyone who attempts to harass or otherwise intimidate other athletes, staff, or spectators will be asked to leave the event immediately. Harassment or intimidation will be reported to race officials, USA Cycling, SafeSport, and local authorities. We will use our power and privilege to protect our friends who need it. Our goal is to foster a vibrant and diverse cycling community. We are grateful for your partnership in working towards that goal.
