Racing more than 3 events?

YES – Racers participating in more than three events need to purchase a Cycling BC ‘PROVINCIAL RACE LICENSE‘ license.

Racing less than 3 events?

NO – Racers participating in three or less events  can pay for a one day license. This one day license costs $25 on top of registration to cover insurance costs ($5 for Participants under the age of 19).  This will provide the rider with accident insurance for the day of the race.

You are limited to 3 events without purchasing a license, so if you plan on more racing you should purchase a license at the beginning of the season.

License Type: ‘PROVINCIAL RACE LICENSE‘ or ‘UCI RACE LICENSE‘
