🚨 USAC License Update for Iron Mountain XC Racers 🚨

To race Iron Mountain XC, a valid and current USA Cycling (USAC) license must be presented at registration. One-day licenses are still available for those who don’t have an annual license.

One-Day License Prices
• Beginner One-Day License: $15 (Cat 5 road, track, cyclocross; Cat 3 MTB)
• Experienced One-Day License: $35 (Cat 4+ road, track, cyclocross; Cat 2+ MTB)

If you plan to race more this year, an annual license may be the better option. USAC has updated its structure for 2026:

USAC Membership (required before purchasing an annual license)
• $20/year with auto-renewal
• $40/year with manual renewal

Race License Add-On Prices
• First-time race license add-on: $0
• Junior race license add-on: $0
• U23 race license add-on: $25
• Adult Domestic race license add-on: $75

Make sure you’re ready before race day so check your license status ahead of time! 🚵‍♂️
