NOTES

After speaking to our results team, we decided that using a form makes more sense over the 15 minute in-person protest period. If you have any questions about your placement in a Club Race, please use the form linked here going forward. After results are posted, there will be a 72 hour window to request revisions to the USAC results.

RIDER CHECK-IN

Check-in is at the Boathouse while Rambles construction is on-going. If you are late to registration, you will not be able to race.

If you are a CRCA member with a Race membership, please remember that you need to bring exact change to the race. Our volunteers at check-in will not be carrying change.

RIDER CONDUCT

After Club Series races, riders have been reported by NYC Parks for riding backward on the Central Park loop and/or riding on walking paths. This conduct threatens the existence of our races and will be subject to an immediate DQ and possible suspension.

CRCA KIT

Per CRCA rules, all members are required to wear CRCA kit or CRCA sub-team kit with the prerequisite logos during the race. If you have ordered your CRCA kit and it has not arrived, please have a receipt of your kit handy in case we ask for proof of purchase.

MARSHALS

NYC Parks strictly enforces our marshal requirements. Races cannot start until 15 minutes AFTER all marshals are at their assigned posts. If marshals arrive late, do not show or are not at their precise assigned post we may lose our race permits. Please refer to the Marshaling Instructions and Marshaling Policy for addition information.  

ROSTERS 

To confirm your eligibility to race please check the CRCA Roster. The roster is now finalized but email membership@crca.net with any questions and Randy may be able to assist. 

NUMBERS

Members can pick up their numbers while checking in to race. You must show your USAC license. If you are picking up your number, please arrive early.

If you need to replace a lost number, numbers will be available for $20 at check-in. Similarly, please allow for more time if you need to replace and pin a lost number.

RESULTS

The CRCA Club Series now features professional results. Results will be posted at the finish line, posted on CRCA.net, and uploaded to USAC. The CRCA Club Series may now be utilized for USAC upgrade points.
