There will be a 20 to 40 minute race start time delay for some criterium races on Saturday, including the Kids Rocket Races. Also, due to a lack of registration the Adaptive Races have been cancelled. Here are the races that have changed:

An omnium rewards racers for overall ability, with a separate prize list in addition to the individual race prizes. The omnium results will be based on a racer's placing in all three races: the Saturday morning TT, the Saturday criterium races, and Sunday’s Bicycle Cove circuit races. Omniums will pay in SIX categories: Women 3-4, Women Pro 1-2, and Juniors - 5 deep, Cat 4 and Cat 3 Men - 10 deep, Pro 1-2 Men - 7 deep. Check the racers page for more information. Update: Juniors now have a discounted 3-race omnium fee of $50!

The RCC women’s purse is over $2,000! Women’s races pay 5-7 deep, except for the TT. But, sign–up for the short uphill TT to be eligible for the Women’s omnium in Cat 3-4 or Pro 1-2. There is also a Cat 3 Bonus for men and women who wish to race more and enter the Pro 1-3 races; all race fees after the first two are $10 per race. All Juniors get discounted race fees and there are separate purses for men and women juniors.

Thanks to SAIC of Huntsville’s generous support, this year’s races include two days of racing for adaptive cyclists. Separate wheelchair and handcycling races will be held each day and paracyclist participants will enjoy a separate purse in the USA Cycling races. Veteran paracyclists have a 50% discount on all fees.
