“It’s exciting to have all these wonderful partners as part of our Cyclocross National Championships,” said Kevin Dessart, Executive Director of Partnerships and Coaching for USA Cycling. “We look forward to fun and exciting activation programs from these brands in Lakewood this December. The continued support from our national partners is greatly appreciated.”
