North 40 – LeMay – MFG Cyclocross

Sunday, September 7, 2025

The North 40 at LeMay kicks off the MFG 2025 cyclocross season with a bang—our official season opener and the first stop of the Seattle Superprestige. Riders will line up on a fresh, fast course that sets the tone for the months ahead, blending early-season nerves with the grit and camaraderie MFG is known for. It’s the race where legs are questionable, fitness is “in progress,” and the mud already knows your name—because this is where it all begins.

Course Map

Location

This race venue is a bit tough to find. The route to get there takes you through a neighborhood and what looks like someone’s driveway. Just when you think you should stop because you expect to see a giant No Trespassing sign and a Doberman pincher to chase you away, you must keep driving. Have no fear, we’ll have signs and people.
