Take advantage of early registration for Masters Road Nationals

With the 2010 USA Cycling Masters Road National Championships less than a month away, now is the time to register before entry fees increase.

On Tuesday, July 13 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, the price of registration will rise from $60 per cyclist to $85.

We'd like to invite all eligible Masters riders to join us August 3rd through 8th in Louisville, Kentucky for some exciting changes in the marquee event.

First, competitors will find a new four-corner criterium course in downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana, across the river from Louisville.

Second, USA Cycling has developed an online registration system to help streamline your registration process. Registration is now available through your My USA Cycling page or directly through the event's registration page.

Third, we've negotiated a variety of special hotel rates near the race venues. Visit the USA Cycling Masters National Championships lodging page for more information.

On-Site Registration and Packet Pick-Up

Online registration will close at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 27.

On-site registration will be available at the Fairfield Inn in downtown Louisville beginning on Monday, Aug. 2. On-site registration must be completed the day before your respective event, as there is no day-of registration for any event. On-site registration fees are $120 per individual event.

Packet pick-up will also take place at the Fairfield Inn. Please be aware there is a $20 charge for packet pick-up at the start/finish line on the day of your event.

For the address of the Fairfield Inn and available times for packet pick-up and on-site registration, please see the schedule of events.
