Nice find, Urban CX! Fun to watch the racers shouldering their bikes up (and down) the big stairs that go up the hill to Sacré Couer. Probably got up faster than the funicular. Actually kind of a hybrid of CX and a crit. There is a race held every year in Anghiari, Tuscany through the centro storico that's broadly similar, but of course nowadays they use ATBs.
