Forms and Rules
Setting a record requires dedicated training, careful organization, effective pacing, and management of logistics during the event. Further setting a record is a team effort, requiring the cooperation of the rider(s), crew and official(s). Thus, setting a record is a significant ultra cycling achievement.

The UMCA Records packet provides all the information necessary for you to attempt a UMCA Record including all of the necessary forms and the rules. Read it all carefully and your attempt will only depend on your ability and desire.

The initial application and fees must be received by the Records Chairperson at least 21 days before the record attempt.
