Online Registration
Online registration ensures our events run smooth and helps reduce the workload on our volunteer organization. Please only use day of registration as a last resort. Our registration system helps us verify that every racer is a member of the club which is required by our insurance policy.
On Site Registration
On site registration will be available for most events but we encourage everyone to sign up in advance online.
Refunds
As a policy Arctic Bicycle Club does not refund race fees. Planning and developing an athletic event that ensures adequate support and supplies for participants is difficult. We rely on the registration information to provide us with an accurate participant count. Because this is vital to the success of our events, there will be no refunds once a registration has been processed.
BIB NUMBER
At check- in you will receive a seat post timing tag that displays your bib number. We ask that you return the seat post tag at the end of each event to ensure it is available at the next race.
EQUIPMENT
A standard road bike is generally the most common bike for road events. You can ride any type of bike technically as long as the specific event allows it. The two most common types for bikes are the standard road and the time trial bike. Time trial bikes are not allowed in any event with a mass start or when drafting is allowed.
