- Important note for all UCI Athletes over 35 years old: A master athlete may not change their UCI category as indicated on their license at any point during the season.

Additional information
* If offered by a race organizer
** National Events will often have dual-sanctions. Championship and Cup categories will be administered by Cycling Canada/UCI and require a UCI race license. Non-championship (“sport” or “challenge”) categories will be administered by Cycling BC and Provincial Race License will be accepted. Refer to the event tech guide before your event for event specific license requirements.
*** Must have the appropriate credentials to register for a number of technical licence categories
- Coaches must have completed training and/or certification as an NCCP cycling coach.
- Commissaires must have completed training and passed evaluation at the appropriate level.
- Drivers must have successfully completed Cycling Canada’s online Caravan Driver Training.
**** Anyone purchasing a technical licence in addition to a BC or UCI licence will only pay one licence fee, whichever is greater.
