Jersey Fresh CCI3*/CCI2* Cross Country Live Updates

Good morning from cross country day at the Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event! After doing a rain dance all week, we certainly got what we asked for: rain fell overnight and heavily throughout the morning here in Allentown, New Jersey.

Skies are just starting to clear now as we count down to the start of CCI2* cross country at 8:30 a.m. EST. CCI3* cross country is scheduled to start at 10:06 a.m. EST, followed by CIC3* cross country at 12:06 p.m. EST, and CIC2* cross country at 2:35 p.m. EST.

There is no live stream or radio feed for cross country, but EN will be running live updates for both the CCI2* and CCI3*, as well as the CIC3* in the afternoon. Keep refreshing this post for CCI updates. I run these updates live on course from my phone, so please bear with me as I battle the elements and spotty reception.

Looking at the forecast, we should have dry skies for most of the day following this morning’s downpour, though severe thunderstorms are currently predicted for late in the afternoon and could impact the tail end of the CIC2* division.

Boyd Martin leads both CCI divisions with two first-timers at the levels, so he has his work cut out for him today. Click here to catch up on all of EN’s #JFI3DE coverage so far.

We wish safe trips for all! Go Eventing.
