Registration
, opens in a new window
- Please note, at this present time we will NOT be able to accept cash at registration on race day. Series Pass and Individual Race Entries will need to be purchased online in advance and on race day we will have QR codes at registration to sign up. To make it as smooth as possible for yourself and other riders we recommend registering in advance before plate pick up.
- Registration is from 4:00pm - 6:00pm each race day
- Racing starts at 5:15pm in a 1st come, 1st race order. Any "training" laps must be done prior to 5:00pm when staff start setting up the start and placing marshals.
- *** Racing does not have a definitive end time. End times are subject to the number of participants. You must be in line by 7:15pm to guarantee a race start. If there are no racers for an extended period of time, staff will call the end of the race and start to clean up. If you miss your race, there are no refunds.
WORCA
All racers must be 2022 WORCA members – WORCA has moved to online waivers. All Phat Weds racers MUST buy their membership online BEFORE the first day of racing and not on the day: www.worca.com. This should reduce line-ups and also benefit minors whose parents cannot be in Whistler in person.
