The KMC Cyclo-Cross Festival adds Maxxis, one of world's largest tire manufacturers, as the presenting sponsor of the 2015 event.

“Maxxis is excited to support the Providence Cyclocross Festival and, more than ever, looking forward to what is on the horizon for Maxxis in this thrilling and crazy sport,” said Maxxis Sales and Sponsorship Coordinator Duncan McGuire. “We are constantly looking for ways to make our sponsored athletes and customers faster with more control, and are proud to say that we have renewed our commitment to developing the best CX and Gravel tires.”

Widely viewed as one of the largest and most prestigious cyclo-cross events in North America, the KMC Cyclo-Cross Festival Presented by Maxxis will be held Oct. 2 – 4 at historic Roger Williams Park. 

“To have Maxxis not just support this event in Providence but also to make a push into cyclo-cross is fantastic for this sport and all of bike culture. This is one of the largest tire companies in the world. We cannot wait to see this new product line,” said Richard Fries, co-founder and event director. “With Maxxis joining KMC Chain we can do more to support not just the race but also the community events we do surrounding this event.”

Entering its seventh year, Divine Providence continues to grow, touting a series of family friendly events throughout the weekend, including the New England Builders’ Ball and Gran Fondo New England. This three-day event delivers a powerful return, not only to sponsors, but racers, fans, and community alike.

The seventh annual KMC Cyclo-Cross Festival Presented by Maxxis will be held October 2 – 4, 2015 at Roger Williams Park. The event will feature UCI Category 1 cyclo-cross racing, clinics, expo, the New England Builders’ Ball, the Greater Providence YMCA Kidzone, and Gran Fondo New England.
