RacersThe 575 people registered for at least one of our four 2026 rounds, from our registration database, queried November 5, 2026. Every figure on this page is a share of our racers, so no racer can be picked out. Ages are on August 30, 2026, the last race day.

Kids, adults, women and girlsKids are under 19 and adults 19 and older. Women and men come from the class each racer raced; 42 racers raced only in classes open to all, so they count among our racers but on neither side of the age chart, and the share of women and girls is of the racers who raced a women's or a men's class. Where kids and adults live is of the 246 kids and 322 adults with a home state on file.

HomeThe home state of 568 of the 575 racers, from 25 states: 434 on file in our database and 134 more from our four rounds' sign-up files, matched to each registration. 7 racers have none on file. The dots are home ZIPs at each round: Rounds 1 and 2 from our Event Impact model, Rounds 3 and 4 from their sign-up files. Each dot sits at the middle of its ZIP with the town its racers gave, the map zooms in no closer than a town, and a dot's share is of that round's racers with a home ZIP. Household income is the US Census Bureau's median household income for each racer's home ZIP code (American Community Survey, 2020 to 2024, in 2024 dollars): the area's, not the racer's own. 560 racers have a home ZIP with a Census figure, from their latest round's sign-up file; across the US, 49% of people live in a ZIP code above the US median of $80,734. Satellite imagery: USGS, The National Map. Terrain: Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen, from USGS and NASA elevation data). State lines: US Census Bureau, through us-atlas.

Classes and roundsClasses are entries in Pro and Elite, Cat 1, Cat 2 and Cat 3; a racer who moved up counts in each, and a class's share of women and girls is of its entries. Rounds are the rounds each racer registered for.

Each weekendOur Event Impact model: two family or friends with every racer, plus our crew; three nights, two to a room; spending on lodging, food, shopping and gas. The kids' share is measured, from registrations.

Families and reachEvery racer of the season: racers registered under the same email, or in the same household in our app, count as one family, so our 575 racers make 496 families, 53 of them with two or more racers. Kids and family racers are every racer under 19 and every racer whose family has two or more racers; everyone else is an adult racing on their own. A parent on course is a family member 30 or older, racing or on a Coach Plate, at the same round. A start is one racer at one round. 572 of 575 racers have an email on file, at 520 addresses, since families share. The opt-out rate is 6 in 2,774 emails sent since our first race, counted by Shopify Email and our own email system. A club or team is one a racer gave us: on file in our database, or in the team or USA Cycling club boxes of a sign-up form at any round; 183 of our 249 kids gave one. 934 of our 1,094 starts came from more than 100 road miles away.
