Katie Compton (Trek), who has won 13 consecutive times, will go for a record 14th victory on Sunday. Stephen Hyde (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld) is the defending champion in the elite men's race and will look to add a repeat victory to his resume.

The Venue – Rancho San Rafael Park
Don't expect severe weather for the USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships this weekend. In fact, bring your sunscreen.

The event will take place in the west coast mountain town of Reno, Nevada, an altitude of 1,500m, and noted as having more than 300 days of sunshine each year. It is expected to be dry this weekend and there will be milder weather conditions than what most cyclo-cross racers are used to in January.
In short, the conditions could make for dry and therefore fast cyclo-cross racing.
The race will be held at the Rancho San Rafael Park on a technical 3.4km course. It begins with a set of concrete steps followed by a sandpit and then a set of railroad-tie stairs all in the first half of the circuit. The challenges continue with a set of barriers, and back-to-back run-ups before the less-technical race to the finish line.
Compton goes for 14
Can anyone match Hyde?
