Race series
The Georgia Cycling Race Series presented by Northside Hospital invites student-athletes to set meaningful goals, challenge themselves, and discover what they’re capable of—on and off the bike. As an optional extension of the Georgia Cycling Youth MTB Program, the fall race series offers riders the chance to test their skills in a supportive, purpose-driven competitive environment.
We know that young athletes vary in their levels of interest and comfort with competition. That’s why our race experience is intentionally designed to welcome every rider. One of Georgia Cycling’s core pillars is Finish Over Podium. For some athletes, success might mean racing for a top-five finish. For others, it’s the personal triumph of crossing the finish line for the very first time. Every version of progress matters—and every rider who pushes themselves forward deserves to be celebrated.
Race days are defined by something special: a culture of encouragement that extends beyond team colors. You’ll hear cheers for the rider in front of you, regardless of which jersey they’re wearing. That energy matters. A supportive, enthusiastic crowd can be the spark that helps a young athlete push past self-doubt and accomplish something they didn’t think was possible.
When you join the Georgia Cycling Race Series presented by Northside Hospital, you’re signing up for more than a race. You’re stepping into an experience where confidence grows, resilience is built, and lifelong lessons are learned—one ride at a time.
Participation in the Georgia Cycling Race Series requires registration in the Georgia Cycling TeamMTB Program. Time-based registration discounts are available, so registering early offers the lowest cost. Families who need assistance with registration fees are encouraged to explore the Financial Assistance Program presented by Arcus Capital Partners.
