USA Cycling (USAC) is the national governing body for the sport of cycling in the United States and oversees the disciplines of Road, Track, Mountain Bike, Cyclocross, and Elite BMX. Becoming an official allows you to be a critical part of USA Cycling events all across the country. Officials are responsible for the sporting aspect of all of our competitive races, allowing USA Cycling’s members to pursue their passion of competition. As a USA Cycling Official you’ll learn to work within a team and manage an event with event organizers. You'll progress towards leading teams of officials through increased practice and training. Delivering fun, safe, equitable and measured racing is our drive and passion. Fun-for all of us. Safe-for all of us; for our members on and off their bikes at events. Equitable-for all of us; ruling on regulations and riding conduct makes our sport understandable, predictable and fair. Measured-for all of us; accurate results, timing and placings create development and growth for our members and your officiating career.
