Virtual Races

Race Locally, Compete Globally

Virtual races utilize a UTT (Universal Time Trial) course  you can setup at your location.  Your teams then record their times on the designated track and submit verification online to enter the national leaderboard and earn a spot at the National Race.  Teams can also submit their Team Portfolio, Team Display and Marketing Video for evaluation. Virtual Races are scheduled for November, December, January, and February.
