Non-Scholastic Participants

Most ECCC road races and criteriums offer non-collegiate fields. If we expect large field sizes, we will have separate collegiate and non-scholastic fields, but we may combine fields if we don't expect enough participants. (If you're the only non-scholastic woman in the 1/2/3 race, I don't think you'd want to race alone!)

Some ECCC road race weekends may have a time trial (individual or team). Depending on the event, there may be a non-scholastic option for individuals or teams.

Almost every ECCC road intro clinic and beginner's race welcomes non-scholastic participants, who typically are combined with intro students.

Almost every ECCC mountain race weekend has opportunities for non-scholastic participants!

For cross-country (XC) and short-track cross country (STXC) races, non-scholastic riders typically start with the equivalent collegiate category, racing alongside students. Results will be separated.

For enduro and downhill races, non-scholastic participants will be timed separately from students.

Dual slalom events may combine non-scholastic riders with the students depending on the number of participants. The decision is typically made after qualifying rounds have completed, allowing the number of competitors to be determined.

The majority of the ECCC cyclocross calendar designates collegiate fields at otherwise non-collegiate events. Non-scholastic participants typically have many opportunities to race at the same events as the collegiate fields. Non-scholastic participants often are racing at the same time as collegiate fields.
