General Information

The Eugene Celebration Cycling Classic is organized as part of the 3-day Eugene Celebration Festival produced by Downtown Events Management, Inc.

This event is part of the FIAC (Federation of Independent Associations for Cycling, which OBRA is associated with) National Points Series (NPS) competition in 2003 in which riders earn points toward an overall national title. The following classes are eligible for points: Pro/1/2, Cat 3, Women - more info available at: www.fiac.us

This is a timed stage race, so racers must finish each stage to participate in the next stage. All stages count toward overall GC.

Categories include:
Pro/1/2, Cat. 3, Cat. 4/5, Masters 35+(Who are Cat.3/4), Women
Women’s event will track Cat. 4 and Masters 35+ Women for Oregon B.A.R, but scored/prized as Women Overall. Please note on registration if Cat4 or Women 35+

Team Discount: If FIVE or more registrations are received from members of the same team in the same envelope the fee will be: $55.00 per rider. That is a savings of over 15% per rider! Riders do not have to be in the same category and male and female team members will count toward the five-rider minimum. Example: Team Oregon sends eight riders: 2 cat 1 & 2, 3 cat 3 & 4, 1 Master 40 +, & 2 women. The total fee would be $440 instead of the $520 if they all signed up individually.
