QUESTIONS?? - 

Which race do I enter?  

If you've never raced before and don't know which race to enter here are your options:
~  If you wish to become a USCF member and begin to race regularly, buy an annual license for $50 at registration.  Then Men age 19 and over  would race the Men Cat 5;  Men age 18 and under would race the Men Juniors.  Women would race the Women Cat 1,2,3,4.

~  If you wish to do only the Commonwealth Games Road Race buy a one day license for $5 at registration.  Then Men Age 19 and over would race the Men Cat 5;  Men age 18 and under would race the Men Juniors.  Women would race the Women Cat 1,2,3,4
