One-Day Licenses

Competitors who do not have an annual license can purchase a one-day license when registering for their event. Such riders do not become members and may not enter championship events. Riders that purchase a one-day license are entitled to the USA Cycling accident medical coverage for the event day the license was purchased for and limited to only the cycling activity of the event. All medical coverage is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of the policy(ies).

One-day licenses can be purchased when signing up via USA Cycling's online registration system or on-site. Events that don't use the USA Cycling registration tool may require on-site payment of the one-day license fee.

For road, track and cyclo-cross events, riders may purchase a one-day racing license for $10, or a one-day non-competitive license for $5, and be permitted to enter races open to men’s category 5 (category 4 cyclo-cross) or women’s category 4.

For mountain bike events, if you do not hold an annual license, there will be an up-charge of up to $10 to enter a category 2 or category 3 race. Riders must hold an annual license to race in category 1 or higher races.

One-day License Fee Rebate
One-day license fees from road, track, and cyclo-cross events may be applied toward the purchase of an annual domestic racing license (two non-competitive one-days may be used, not to exceed $10). The cost of a one-day license cannot be applied to the purchase of the following licenses:

  • Collegiate annual license
  • Junior annual license
  • International licenses (including BMX)
  • Professional licenses
  • Add-on license in addition to an existing domestic racing license
  • Mechanics license
  • Coaches license
  • Officials license
  • Race Director license

The one-day license must have been purchased within three months of the annual license purchase. For annual license applications that are mailed to us, the one-day license must be attached. Members can deduct the $10 from the $60 domestic racing license fee and pay $50.

To receive a $10 refund for an annual license purchased online, the one-day license application must be mailed to USA Cycling and a refund will be issued. Only one discount per adult annual license per year will be granted.

For assistance with purchasing or renewing a license, or to update an annual license account with posted race results achieved with a one-day license, please contact Membership Services at membership@usacycling.org or call 719-434-4200.
