What to bring when picking up your number.

If you haven’t purchased your license yet, you can do so here.

Why pick-up your race numbers now?

Support Commissaires

On race day, commissaires are focused on keeping you safe, reviewing the course, and ensuring races run smoothly. Picking up your number early helps them focus on what matters most.

Support Volunteers & Organizers

Early pickup eases the load for our volunteers and avoids long lineups at race registrations.

Added Bonus

A chance to connect and socialize with fellow racers before the season begins!

Special Thanks
A huge thank you to all the dedicated volunteers, commissaires, and event organizers whose hard work makes this event—and the entire cyclocross season—possible. Your time and commitment keep our community rolling.

Special thanks to Bikes & Beyond for sponsoring the timing system this race season.
Special thanks to Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries for their continued support of cycling this race season.

FAQ
Q: What if I cannot make the September 17 pick-up?
A: Your number can be assigned on race day. Bring your license your first race. Please check in early to avoid delays. Everyone must check in so we can confirm you are on the roster.
Q: Can I keep the same number as last year?
A: You may be able to keep your previous number, but all participants will receive new sponsored numbers this season. Number assignments depend on race categories and pre-assigned sequences, so your old number cannot be guaranteed. Check with a commissaire on September 17 or at your first race to confirm.
Q: Will my numbers change during the season?
A: If you move up or down a category, your race number will be re-assigned. Turn in old numbers and pick up new ones at check-in.
Q: How do I request a category change?
A: Email your request and reason to cx.mbcycling@gmail.com. Category changes are made at the discretion of the CX Director in collaboration with the Chief Commissaire. You may also be approached by these individuals to move categories, at which point your license and numbers will be updated.
Q: My child will be racing this year. How do I get their race number?
A: Kids’ numbers will be handed out on race day.
