!! What's the Story?

To race in the ECCC you must be a full-time student at a degree granting college or university, or be a full-time student in a public or private high school or prep school.
* "Full-time" means that your school's registrar considers you full-time, regardless of credits, internships/co-ops, etc..
* Both graduate and undergraduate full-time students are welcome.
** There are no limitations on age or number of years racing.
* Many of our races also have alumni and non-collegiate categories open to everyone.

The ECCC races from September-December, and then March-April, with [[Calendar.Current | three separate seasons]]: Mountain, Cyclocross,and Road.
* Mountain Biking in September and October;
* Cyclocross in October, November and December.
* Road Racing happens in March and April;

Riders and teams compete to earn points toward individual and team season standings.
* Top riders also compete to qualify as a team or individuals for the [[Racers.Nationals | national championships]].

All race weekends feature a number of [[Racers.Categories | categories for riders of all levels]].
* Our coached [[Racers.Intro | Introduction to Bicycle Racing]] clinics and races are perfect for absolute beginners.
** Non-student, new women racers are welcome to participate in all of our Women's Intro events!
* A number of pro and semi-pro riders regularly compete in our Men's and Women's A categories.

Every racer must have a [[Racers.Licenses | USA Cycling Collegiate license]], and be a member of a licensed school team.
* An annual USA Cycling Collegiate license is $45, or as an addition to a non-collegiate USAC license (subject to $10 USAC processing fee).
** Annual licenses can be purchased at races or online via [[https://www.usacycling.org/race-licenses | USAC's website]].
* Beginner racers can also purchase 1-day licenses at every race for $10 per day.
