The Northern Region Race Series (NRRS) is held each season with a round at each of the Northern Region Clubs.

Riders from ALL REGIONS are eligible to enter the NRRS Series.

Riders must enter both their age class (20”, Cruiser or Superclass), as well as the appropriate NRRS class (Rookie, Cadet, Expert or Master) to be eligible for the NRRS competition. Points from both the standard age class and the NRRS class will be calculated towards the overall series.

To be eligible for overall series points, riders must compete in at least 4 of the NRRS rounds advertised and must compete in the 6th (final) round of the series.

Riders may choose to ride up one UCI class but must compete in the same NRRS class throughout the whole series. Classes will be mixed gender; however, girls are able to race down one UCI age.

See the NRRS Rules & Guidelines for more information.

POINTS CALCULATION
