Category Details:

1. Elite

2. Amateur

3. Non-Road Bike

4. Men/Open Master (40+)

5. Under-18 Open

6. Women

7. Women Master (40+) 

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. It is better to have a good level of experience to enroll in the Elite category; otherwise, it might cause inconvenience for the entire peloton due to a 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 or MTB races of this season. – All racers who have represented their individual states or UTs at the national level have to compulsorily compete in the Elite category.

2.  Amateur category is open to 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, Gravel Bike, and Single Speed Bike are not allowed in this category; they can register in other categories.

4. Men Masters (40+) category is for anybody who is over 40 years of age.

5. Women: – Girls below the age of 18 may also opt for the women category 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 was 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 the Women category in other road races of that particular season. 2) Women over 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 cases of a lesser number of participants, then the Women Master category will merge with the 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’s category if they wish to.

– Photo and birthdate ID cards are mandatory.

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

– Parent/Guardian/team manager owns full responsibility for the safety of the participant. They will have to sign the indemnity form before the issue of the BIB, without which the participant will not be allowed to take part in the race.

    What is ITT?

    • An individual time trial (ITT) is a road bicycle race in which cyclists race alone against the clock on flat or rolling terrain, or up a mountain road “ literally “against the watch”. ITTs are also referred to as “the race of truth”, as winning depends only on each rider’s strength and endurance, and not on help provided by team-mates and others riding ahead and creating a slipstream.
    • Starting times are at equal intervals, usually between 30 sec to two minutes apart. The starting sequence is usually based on the finishing times in preceding races (or preceding stages in the case of a multi-stage race) with the highest ranked cyclist starting last. Starting later gives the racer the advantage of knowing what time they need to beat (and also makes the event more interesting to pectators). Competitors are not permitted to draft (ride in the slipstream) behind each other. Any help between riders is forbidden. The rider with the fastest time is declared the winner.
