CAREER/EARNED NUMBER REQUEST:
Riders earning a National Ranking for the 2025 season are able to request a number first. This number does not have to be your nationally ranked number, and may not be available if it is a Career Number of a Pro (XC1, XC2, XC3, 4x4 Pro & WXC) Rider. It is important to know what division you will be competing in (i.e., AM or PM), as a number earned in the 10 a.m. race will not transfer to the 1 p.m. race, and vice versa, unless requested by the rider.
This form will open December 18, 2024
Beginning January 6, 2025-
UNEARNED NUMBER RESERVATION REQUEST:
In addition to the riders who earned a National Ranking, riders who participated in at least six (6) GNCC events in 2024 and who anticipate competing in at least six (6) GNCC events in 2025, may also request a number.
If you have a favorite number that you have reserved in the past, it is necessary for you to reserve that number for next season, as we do not carry-over any reserved numbers from the previous year.
This form will open January 6, 2025
Beginning January 13, 2025-
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES:
Riders who do not meet the above requirements for various reasons (i.e., injury), but met the same requirements in 2024, may submit a request citing why they do not meet the requirements for 2025 and requesting a reserved number. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
This form will open January 13, 2025
