WORLD ULTRACYCLING ASSOCIATION
Our Mission: To support, inspire and grow ultra-cycling globally, providing resources and structure that empower both athletes and event organizers. As the sport’s governing body, WUCA sets standards of rules for competitive events, annual challenges and records.
Set a Time, Distance or Point to Point record (cross-country, cross-state, capital-to-capital, or circumnavigation), or other special cateory! The World Ultra Cycling Association recognizes records by gender, age, and bike type. Records may also be set by solo bicycle riders, tandem cyclists and 2,4 or 8-person relay teams. Record setters receive a WUCA certificate and an option to purchase a plaque.
Setting a record requires dedicated training, careful organization, effective pacing, and management of logistics during the event.
You can find all the information necessary for you to attempt a WUCA Record including links to all of the necessary forms and the rules here.
