We are excited to be having the Tour of the Gila this fall! We are working hard to make this happen and we are looking forward to getting back to in-real-life bicycle racing.
Tour of the GilaSeptember 29 – October 3, 2021Registration for amateurs will open on BikeReg on May 1st at 12:01AM MST
New Mexico is presently leading the nation in getting its people vaccinated. Things are looking good. But we have a long way to go before getting back to a state of normalcy: we all need to work together to defeat this virus. If you have not been vaccinated, then please get vaccinated!Safety of riders, staff, volunteers, and our community will be the priority of this year’s Tour of the Gila. We will be following UCI and USA Cycling COVID-19 guidelines in preparations of this year’s event. We will be communicating these guidelines as we get closer to race day.
May Registration DiscountSaturday, May 1, 2021Enter on May 1, 2021 and we will give you 25% off your entry fee.Early Registration DiscountBetween May 2 - May 31, 2021Enter during this period of time and we will give you 10% off your entry fee.After May 31, 2021, the entry fee will return to the regular amount.
As an incentive to get more amateur teams to Silver City, we are offering a 5% discount on entries of 5 or more team members. We are also offering a 10% discount on entries of 15 or more team members. Here is how this program will work: you will select the race that you want to enter and will pay the appropriate entry fee. Once 5 members of your team has entered, then your team will be eligible to receive your 5% discount. Then once 15 members of your team has entered, your team will then be eligible to receive your 10% discount. You will receive your discount check at registration. There is only one restriction to this program. If you or team member enters on May 1, 25% Off Discount Day, your entry will count towards your team’s total entry number - but you will not receive the additional 5% discount or the 10% discount.Another thing that we plan on doing is to recognize the team that brings the largest number of team members. We will be presenting each team member a commemorative 2021 Tour of the Gila t-shirt. On the front of the t-shirt will be the Tour of the Gila logo. On the back will be your team’s name and logo and words acknowledging that your team has the largest number of riders at the race. T-shirts will be presented, and your team will be recognized during the Downtown Criterium on October 2nd, right before the start of the UCI Men’s Criterium at 4:15pm.Hope to see you in Silver City this fall!
