Race Announcements/Flyers
USAC requires local associations to review Road,Track,Cyclocross flyers, so Bicycle Colorado prefers you
send us your flyers prior to submitting your permit. However, if it hasn’t been by the approved by us you want to
submit your permit to USAC just watermark it Draft, and once approved and we will post it to the Bicycle
Colorado site. See Race Announcement Guidelines.
Colorado USAC permitted competitive events (Road,Track,Cyclocross,) will be listed on the calendar will have
links to their flyers, pre-registration site/ club websites posted on our website, have E-News sent to all Bicycle
Colorado members the week of the race. Additionally, Colorado USAC non-competitive permitted events (Gran
Fondos, Gravel events, Fun Rides/Tours, Camps/Clinics) will be listed on the Bicycle Colorado calendar.

Releases
All participants must sign the USAC standard release form. However, if your pre-registration company is
BikeReg most participants will NOT need to sign a release on site. (USAC will only accept electronic signatures
from BikeReg.) Race Directors should check the BikeReg tool that lists those riders that do need to sign
waivers onsite. If USAC one-days or annual licenses need to be on site it is strongly recommended that they do
so on the USAC website using their smart phone, otherwise participants should complete the “Event Annual
and 1-Day License Application”.
Any volunteers, including promoting club members, must sign a volunteer release form.
Race directors are to keep all signed releases for a minimum of 10 years.
If an accident occurs, a First Report of Occurrence must be completed by the medical person on site and the
individual’s release form must be attached. This paperwork needs to be presented to the Chief Referee at the
end of the race.
Medical Personnel
A person who is licensed as an EMT, Paramedic or a comparable medical professional with triage experience,
must be at all competitive events to facilitate the handling of medical services and decisions during the event.
Event will be cancelled by Chief Referee if this requirement is not meet. Medical person is required to
complete a USAC First Report of Occurrence on every person he/her treats, excluding those that receive
treatment for superficial road rash.
