CRCA Mission Statement

The Century Road Club Association aims to promote (i) bicycle racing and bicycling activities for the enjoyment of its Members, (ii) bicycling as a sport, and (iii) the interests of cycling through organized races, coaching and training events.

This mission will be carried out by providing members with:

1. a safe and competitive club racing program;

2. coaching and clinics aimed primarily at new entrants to the sport;

3. open racing opportunities that support the development of our members and the sport of cycling in general; and

4. opportunities for members to socialize with each other.

CRCA will conduct its activities with a focus on excellent execution, high regard for the rules that govern our sport, fairness, and a spirit of positive contribution to our community.

CRCA Inclusivity Statement

The CRCA Board is committed to fostering a community in which all individuals are welcome and treated with respect and dignity. To that end, we adopted the following policy in 2017:

• Century Road Club Association and all of its events are a safe and inclusive space for all.

• Discrimination or harassment of any type on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, or any other characteristic protected by law will not be tolerated at our events.

• [Updated 2/26] Following USA Cycling’s adoption of Policy VII which contradicts the Club’s Inclusivity Policy, CRCA will no longer sanction its races through USAC. Races will continue to operate under existing USAC Category systems but will be sanctioned through NABRA. Within this framework, the following principles apply:

  • “Men’s fields” are open to all racers: men, women, and non-binary racers who self-select to race in the Men’s field.

  • “Women’s fields” are open to cis women, trans women, and non-binary racers who self-select to race in the Women’s field.

  • For further information on field eligibility, see CRCA Technical Guide
