When does registration open?
Registration for the 2027 US Cup opens in January 2027. The 2026 registration links on the previous website are for a past event.
Which race is right for me?
US Cup events include UCI racing for eligible elite, U23 and junior riders, plus non-UCI categories for amateur racers across age and ability levels. Check the event technical guide and junior racing information before choosing a category.
How do call-ups work?
The organizer pulls online entry data two days before race starts for UCI fields and USAC fields with 24 or more racers. Late entries may not be seeded for call-ups. Consult the published protocol for the full process.
Where do I find my start time?
Use the event schedule and the organizer’s race-week start information. Start times and lap counts may change due to conditions. The 2026 schedules are reference documents; 2027 schedules are forthcoming.
What about team parking and expo space?
Larger team footprints, trailers and expo setups require event-specific arrangements. Previous event information requested team parking registration at least two weeks in advance. Contact the organizer for the 2027 booking process.
Are there junior and amateur races?
Yes. The event pages provide separate course maps and resources for UCI juniors, amateur age groups and younger riders. Categories and course routing should always be checked against the current event guide.
