A packed week of racing, kicking off with UCI Elite men/women, U23 Men/Women, and JR men/women C1 event on Wednesday. Thursday is an official training and pre-ride day before we jump into short track racing on Friday. We have inscripted Friday’s UCI short track for the elites, and we will offer short track for amateurs as well.
Saturday is a UCI Hors Category classification for all UCI categories and is a JR. XCO series designated race.
We finish off the week of racing on Sunday, April 16th with amateur cross-country categories.
Note, there is NO ONSITE day of race registration. If you show up to register on the day of your event, you will be out of luck. U.C.I. categories require a valid UCI license. One-day USAC licenses are available for CAT 2/3 categories for $15.
We will close entries for UCI and USAC CAT 1 15-16 JR Men/Women @ 7 pm CST two days prior to the event’s race date to allow for call up’s to be posted and reviewed (ex. Sat UCI races registration closes Thursday). It is your responsibility to notify scoring if your ranking is incorrect. We will not be making changes on the start line.
For all other amateur categories, we will close online registrations @ 7 pm CST the day prior to the race event date.
Categories: CAT 1-Expert level of fitness/skill with several seasons of racing experience, race target time of 1hr 15 min-1hr 30 min for the winners.
CAT 2-Intermediate/Novice level of fitness/skill, a race season or two of experience, race target time 1hr-1hr 15 min for the winners.
CAT 3-Beginner level of fitness/skill, first time or a handful of race experience, race target time 30min-45 min for the winners. If you are looking for more time or more laps, race CAT 2. We want CAT 3 to be a true first-timer or beginner race experience. There is nothing we are giving away worth sandbagging this class for.
Registration is non-refundable. We highly recommend you protect yourself with added insurance which can be found here.Entry insurance
Location: Centennial Park is in the heart of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and is located freeway friendly just off MLK Blvd and the 49. There are tons of great trails and the city is very bicycle friendly. We recommend spending an extra day exploring the area if you have the time. Map Link
