• Athletes registering in the Recumbent Division may participate in all cycling events.
• Overall Winners in each age and skill Division (except “Division I”) MUST MOVE UP. Due to confusion and implementation in prior years, cyclists will be made aware of this policy more effectively following races this year. To qualify as the Overall Winner, cyclists must compete in all 3 cycling events. If there are ages/divisions without racers in all 3 events, an overall winner medal will not be awarded. In the event of a tie in any age/division, any or all cyclists that are tied will all receive the Overall Winner medal. We will make sure all Overall winners are recognized during the Games so as to avoid any confusion. As a reminder, Overall Winners will be required to Move Up to the next division for the next year's Games.
If you have a question as to what Division or a request to downgrade a Division please contact the Games office at 800-562-1268. Request must be made before event begins.
