Race number plate info & fees

  • The aim is for riders to use the same plates for a few seasons

  • So once issued, please keep them safe and bring them to every race

  • You need two plates fitted to your bike so we can get accurate timing - a handlebar plate and a seatpost-mounted plate

  • NOTE: Kids in U9/U13 only need one race plate - the larger handlebar mounted plate

Got your race plates from last season?

  • There's a one-off $10 fee to reactivate them for the 2025 season

  • Ensure you have two plates from last season. Only got one? You'll need to buy new plates - see below

Lost your race plates or new to CX this season?

  • For riders needing new plates, there's a $15 one-off fee

  • These are your numbers for all races, so please keep them safe

  • If you leave your plates at home, there's a $20 replacement fee
