SafeSport

The PanAm Championships and DCCX organizing committee support the goals of SafeSport in protecting athletes and ensuring a positive environment for athletes, supporters and fans.

Implementation of SafeSport protocols is the responsibility of the officiating crew. No person listed on the SafeSport Centralized Disciplinary Database is permitted in the pit area or team zones. Please provide the names of pit staff during check in (if different from staff you listed when registering). For non-U.S. support staff, a cycling federation license is required. Please present names of support staff and license numbers (if applicable) at registration. Specific questions about SafeSport guidelines pertaining to your support staff can be directed to the UCI or USA Cycling official in charge of pit pass allocation.

Licensing Requirements: All riders competing in the Pan American Championships, Masters Pan American Championships, and/or UCI C2 races must possess a current UCI International license.

If you currently do not hold a license of any kind the UCI license for an adult is $240.

If an athlete currently holds a USA Cycling domestic license, then you are able to purchase a UCI license add-on at a cost of $130 (the price difference between a USA Cycling license and the fee for a UCI license). You are eligible to purchase this add-on up to 30 days prior to an existing USA Cycling membership expiring. Per USA Cycling: this UCI license supersedes a domestic license and thus your domestic license will show as expired once the UCI license add-on is purchased.

The UCI/International license is valid for both UCI categorized races and any local/grassroots races.

More details available here: https://usacycling.org/get-started/bike-racing-for-adults

All riders in the DCCX amateur races must possess either a valid USAC license, a one-day USAC license or a UCI license with cyclocross coding. Non-US citizens must possess a valid UCI International license for insurance purposes. Non-US citizens from Canada can possess a Cycling Canada License.*

*If registering with a license from Canada is not an international (UCI) license, then applicable riders will be required to show proof of insurance that covers them while racing in the USA or sign a waiver acknowledging responsibility for all medical costs they may incur. USA Cycling's insurance does NOT cover riders with only valid domestic licenses from their respective national federation. Foreign federation UCI licenses are to carry with them proper medical insurance, but a Foreign Permission Letter (FPL) is required for it to be in effect. If no FPL is available, the rider is responsible for obtaining travel insurance that covers them while racing in the USA, and they accept full responsibility for medical expenses they incur.

Racing age, per UCI 5.1.001:

The category to which the license holder belongs on December 31st, 2026, will be used for his or her participation in events for the whole season.

One-day licenses available for purchase for Amateur Racing Only (non-PanAmChamps)

Beginner One-Days One-Day licenses for beginner categories are $15.00 and may be purchased on USA Cycling’s website .

Experienced One-Days If your categories prohibit you from entering a race with a beginner one-day license (anything but cat 5 in cyclocross), you can purchase the experienced one-day license for $35. The experienced one-day license is only available online at (see link below):

https://membership.usacycling.org/one-day/6174

If you never held a license, see please link below.

Local Food & Services Guide

On behalf of DCMTB, Crosshairs Cycling, and CXD Trek Bikes - Welcome to Washington DC! We are excited to be hosting the PanAmerican Cyclocross Championships and DCCX at the Armed Force Retirement Home.

This city and region are great places to live, ride, and race. Check out this photo essay in the Radavist from friend of DCCX, Andy Karr of the Great Eskape, for more about the cycling communities and events in the city (including DCCX) that make this place special!

One of the biggest questions that bike racers and teams have when they come from out of town to a race and venue is where places to get food and groceries are located. This guide will direct you to places to eat and drink, nearby grocery stores close to the race venue, as well as the food trucks that will be at the venue so that racers, teams, supporters, and attendees can plan accordingly.

We are grateful to be sponsored once again by Right Proper Brewing! We will be selling their beer at the race. Right Proper has two locations in DC - the Brookland Tasting Room and Shaw Brewpub.

Zeke’s Coffee of DC has been a longtime DCCX sponsor and we are happy to have them back as a sponsor as well as vendor for both days of racing. Visit them at their Rhode Island Ave NE Roastery/Coffee Shop or make the quick trip over to their Uptown Coffee Shop, less than a mile and a half from the race venue on 14th Street NW. If you land on a podium you might even take home a bag of Zeke's special DCCX Race Fuel coffee!

Acme Pie has been the official pie of DCCX for as long as we can remember! They have been a sponsor and a vendor for many years. Sol will be back once again this year serving pie to the hungry masses. Stop by the shop on Columbia Pike in Arlington VA if you are in town for an extra day to take pie home.

We will have a number of food trucks on site during the race weekend. Below is the list of days and times they will be available:

Local Bike Shop & Ride Guide

We are thankful to be sponsored by Trek Bikes! We greatly appreciate Trek Clarendon (Arlington, VA) for providing neutral support for the race weekend. Go see Jeff Fraley and his team if you need service or parts before your big race. There are other Trek shops in the region - check this list to find out where the closest Trek shop is if Trek Clarendon is not convenient. There are two Trek stores in DC proper, Trek Skyland and Trek Georgetown.

Arrow Bicycle in Hyattsville, MD, is about 5 miles from the race venue. They are a Trek dealer and are located along the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail, near the Anacostia River Trail. An easy ride from the race venue!

There are two community bike shops within a few miles of the race venue. Highly recommended to stop in and learn more about what they do and grab a tube or any last minute bicycle need:

Gearin Up is a project of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association located in the Eckington neighborhood in NE DC, right off the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT). They are open until 7pm on Fridays and noon to 6pm on Saturdays.

Upshift Workshop is an eclectic, woman-owned bicycle repair and education workshop in the Adams Morgan neighborhood in NW DC. They are open until 7pm on Fridays and noon-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

If you are staying in the host hotel in the NoMA neighborhood, you’re just around the corner from DC’s flagship REI , adjacent to the NoMA Metro station (Red Line) and abutting the Metropolitan Branch Trail.

There are tons of places to ride in DC! The District Department of Transportation has a bicycle map that is worth looking at to familiarize yourself with bike lanes and trails in the city. You can find that map here.

Other places to ride:

The Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) is a multi-use trail that runs through the center of Washington, DC, connecting Union Station to (eventually) Silver Spring, MD. Most of the 8 miles are complete and there are protected bike lanes most of the way from the race venue to the trail access point in the Brookland neighborhood. Here are directions to the trail/two way protected cycletrack - hang a left at 8th St NE/Arts Walk to go up towards MD, hang a right to head downtown and Union Station.

The Anacostia River Trail network starts in Maryland and continues into Washington, DC. Most of it is paved though there are sections of the NW Branch Trail that are dirt/singletrack (and perfect for cyclocross bikes if you like climbing). For info on the DC side, go here. For MD info, go here.

Going for a bicycle ride in Rock Creek Park has been part of DC cycling life for decades. Junior World Road Championships were hosted there in 1978! This World Championship event was the first hosted in the US since 1912! If you want to relive that event, and see if you can better Greg LeMond’s 9th place finish, the race route is here.

North of Broad Branch Rd, much of Beach Drive is closed to car traffic so it is a great place to ride and explore. Only about two miles from the race venue is the Morrow Drive entrance to Rock Creek Park (at the Fitzgerald Tennis Center). At Beach Drive, make a right to head north towards Maryland and a left to head south towards Broad Branch and the Rock Creek trail which heads towards Georgetown and the National Mall (monuments, museums etc)

Sligo Creek Parkway has multiple road sections closed off to cars during the weekend, as well as a parallel multi-use trail. A great place to ride if you are staying north of DC in Silver Spring or Wheaton. More about Sligo Creek here.

A bit further west are the paved Capital Crescent Trail and the unpaved C & O Canal Towpath. Both start in DC, in the Georgetown neighborhood, and meander into Maryland.

DC does have legal singletrack! And cyclocross bikes fare pretty well on these trails. Learn more about the Ft Dupont and Ft Circle Park trails here.

Last but not least is a favorite for those of us that live in the NE part of the city and Prince George’s County - the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the Patuxent Research Refuge. Miles of relatively low traffic roads. Take the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail north and connect to Beaver Dam Rd and head east. Here are directions from the race venue.
