Registration: There are no International Paralympic Committee classification standards for gravel biking. For our event, an eligible para athlete is anyone with a permanent disability. 

There is a separate registration category in each distance for para athtletes that provides additional questions so we can best support you! All participants who register in the para category will receive an email from Sam to further discuss event details.

Para athletes can also register a support rider with no additional cost at registration. Para athletes desiring a support rider should email Sam at srs5333@gmail.com for a 50% discount code for the total cost.

Parking: Accessible parking available + Volunteers to assist in getting equipment out of vehicles (if desired).

At the Expo: Accessible toilets & changing tents will be available.

Podiums/Awards: Wheelchair accessible podiums and no step up.

There WILL be podiums & awards for the para category in the 32, 60, 100, and 118 mile distances. However, what that looks like--we don't know yet. Due to para gravel cycling being a new, non-International Paralympic Committee sport, classifications that would determine different para categories do not exist. However, there is a lot of work going into defining the para gravel space. In the past, para e-assist riders were automatically placed behind non e-assist riders for the same distance. All this to say, we have goals of recognition for different para disciplines (e.g. breakdown of hand pedal and foot pedal, e-assist and non), but this will depend on guidance and discussion with other para gravel event pioneers/organizers as well as turnout for different para disciplines at the FoCo Fondo event.
