Manitoba Cycling depends on a strong club network for the continued growth of cycling in the Province of Manitoba. Cycling clubs continue to organize most events and tours across Manitoba, and are valuable local members of the recreation community. Please support your local clubs by affiliating as a member and volunteering for club activities (club rides, organizing events etc.)
Interested in organizing an event?
Contact the Manitoba Cycling Event Director for the event discipline that you are interested in hosting:
MCA hosts an annual event calendar meeting each January where all event disciplines collaborate to ensure race dates are supported and avoid overlap. Events are then “sanctioned by the MCA board of directors (thus covered by insurance) and posted to the MCA website on February 1st. If you miss this timeline please contact the Event Director listed above, or complete a “Request to Sanction” form and submit to the MCA at least two (2) months prior to your event date.

Sanctioning a cycling race or event through the Manitoba Cycling Association (MCA) involves obtaining official approval and support from the governing body for the sport of cycling in Manitoba, Canada. This process ensures that the race or event adheres to established standards, safety protocols, and regulations set forth by the association.
To organize an event, Race Organizers must:
Non-member participation is allowed in select events only, specifically Time Trials, Gravel Events, Mountain Bike, and Cyclocross. All non-licensed participants must purchase a day permit for the specific event and sign a waiver.
Commercial Event Insurance: This is the most commonly requested insurance application which allows non-licensed participants try a MCA Sanctioned race.
Certificate of Insurance: Needs to be completed if proof of Insurance for a sanctioned event is requested. Please provide name and address of Company or Organization on request form.
Commissaires are the sports officials for bicycle races in each cycling discipline. Their responsibilities are to ensure a safe and fair play competition, in accordance with UCI/MCA Rules and Regulations.
