7. Women Master (40+)

8. Pioneer Open

1. Elite category is also open for all men who want to race irrespective of age. But this category has an experience barrier since this is the category where most of the professionals take part in. It is better to have a good level of experience to enroll into Elite category otherwise it might cause inconvenience for the entire peloton due to lack of bike handling skills and general racing experience.

Note: Whoever competes in Elite category should stick to Elite category for the rest of the season, they can’t go back to Amateur in other Road/MTB races of this season. – All racers who have represented their individual states or UTs have to compulsorily compete at the Elite category.

2.  Amateur category is open for anybody who wants to race irrespective of age. 

3. Non-Road Bike Category is for only non-road bikers. Cyclist can use hybrid, MTB, Foldie. Note: Fixie and Single Speed Bike is not allowed in this category, they can register in other category.

4. Men Masters category is for anybody who is above 40 years of age.

5. Women: – Girls below the age of 18 may opt for Women category also if they wish to.

6. WOMEN MASTER (40+)

This category is for women who are ABOVE the age of 40 years as on the race day. The Women Master category is created to cater to women participants who think they can compete against women who are younger. This category will mirror the distances that the women’s category races at.

Note: 1) Whoever participates in the Women Master category should stick to the Master category for the rest of the season, they can’t go back to Women category in other road races of that particular season. 2) Women above 40 who want to race the distances that the Elite racers do and want to compete at the Masters can still choose to do so by registering in the Open Masters category. 3) We need a minimum of 10 participants on race day in the Women Master category. In case of lesser number of participation, then the Women Master category will merge with Women category and all women riders will share the same podium irrespective of their age.

7. Open Under-18 category is common for both boys and girls who are below the age of 18. Girls below the age of 18 may also opt to compete in the Women category if they wish to.

– Photo and Birthdate ID card mandatory.

– It’s mandatory for parent/guardian/team manager to accompany their U-18 participants.
