Online registration for Elite Track Nationals ends September 22

Online registration for the 2010 USA Cycling Elite Track National Championships will close on Wednesday, September 22 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

We hope that all qualified track cyclists will join us at the Home Depot Center Velodrome in Carson, California, between Wednesday, September 29, and Sunday, October 3, for the final national championship event of the 2010 track season.

Cyclists looking to compete in Carson must meet eligibility requirements as outlined in these qualification procedure guidelines. Cyclists were able to qualify for nationals at regional championship events held at velodromes across the United States. For a list of qualifying races, click here.

In an effort to streamline the registration process, we've created the USA Cycling online registration system. To sign up for nationals, simply visit your My USA Cycling page or follow the link on the event's website.

Entry Fees

The fee per individual event is currently $50 and $200 for the international omnium. By registering early using our online system, participants will save time and money compared to on-site registration.

On-site registration will be available at the Home Depot Center beginning Tuesday, September 28. Please note, participants must register for each event the day before the race. There is no day-of registration.

On-site registration fees are $85 per individual event and $250 for the international omnium.
