Wheel Support:
There are 2 wheel pits. Wheels are wheels in / wheels out. We recommend teams have a couple of wheel sets for their team to place in the pits. There will be limited neutral wheels. If you flat and require a neutral wheel, your flat will be fixed while you are out racing on our wheel and your wheel will become a neutral wheel for the remainder of your race until our wheel is returned. Labeling your wheels with a team name will allow your whole team to access them. Labeling your wheels with an individual number or name will allow only the individual to access them. There is a free lap in the mens 1/2/3 and the womens pro/1/2/3 only. No free lap in other races.

Podium:
The top 3 riders from each race are required at the podium immediately following their race in full uniform for presentation, photos and interviews. Failure to report to the podium could result in forfeit of prizes.

Antidoping Testing
The USCF Antidoping regulations are entirely applicable to the event. Antidoping may be conducted by the USADA. If applicable, rider numbers of those who must report for antidoping testing will be posted with the results following each race. Antidoping tests will take place in the security offices of RFK Stadium.

Prizes and Primes:
All prizes and primes for the mens 5, 4, and masters and womens 4, 3/4, and masters races will be distributed on sight. If you won something, get it after the race as soon as the results are official.
