All lapped riders will finish on the same lap as the first place rider. If there are 45+ in a category, lapped riders will be pulled by the commissaire.

Podium and Awards

All riders receiving awards are required to be present for the podium, and be in proper podium attire (clean cycling kit). In theme based races which involve costumes, your sponsor jersey is still required. Failure to do so can result in loss of prize or award

Bike Requirements

• There will not be any restrictions in regards to type of bike or tire size for Beginner and Intermediate races.
• Elite races will be subject to UCI rules when it comes to bikes and tire size. This is to help prepare our Elite racers for Nationals and other UCI races.
  Officials

Cycling BC will require a minimum of 1 commissaire to be present at all weekend cyclocross races, with 2 to 3 commissaires recommended.

Cycling BC can work with clubs to train members as commissaires. This can be done individually, or in groups. Individual training is done via a short self-study course, followed by supervised practical experience at 2 events. Group training is best done with 6 to 10 people. Ideally, several clubs would cooperate to hold a training course. New commissaire training courses can be done in 3 to 4 hours. To arrange a course, please contact Kevin MacCuish (officials@cyclingbc.net).

Race Course Etiquette

Riders are not permitted to ride on courses prior to race day, unless special permission is allowed. Courses may also be subject to modification or cancellation due to heavy rain.
It is also suggested that all racers allow extra time post-race to assist organizer in helping to clean-up and restore the race site.
