Registration
Register for all our races on Webscorer
- You register yourself for each race on your own phone or computer. Pay online in advance or use your Season Pass or 6-Pack to pay.
- If you have a SEASON PASS or 6-Pack you still need to register for each race. Do this on Webscorer. Season Pass holders… pro tip… you can register for all races for the season all at once.
- After you are registered for the race, once and only once, before your very first race of the season, you need to come to registration and pick up your number plate for the season AND either use a timing tube from past years or pick one up from us ($10). If you have a timing tube bring it with you to registration.
- If you’ve already registered for the race and paid either online or with your Season Pass or 6-Pack, AND if you’ve picked up your number plate & timing tube, you are all set! You don’t need to come to registration ever again, unless of course you just want to tell us how awesome we are… Just get pedaling.
- Online registration for each race remains open until 15min before each wave start. Don’t be late!
- Registration pays for rider insurance, medical personnel, park rental fees, RFID timing, online registration/results and website, fake moustaches, sparkly tights, race numbers, toilets and our wonderful staff and crew!

Team Competition
For the first time ever, we have a team competition at WNWC!
Here is how the team points work… We look across every category and every team and count the top 5 scores for each team member for each team. We use the same points calc as explained above for individual points, and then add up the top five points scorers for each team for that week. We aggregate weeks to get to the season leaders.
Be sure that all of your team members select your team when they register for each race on Webscorer.
Get your teammates off the couch!
Results
Results are available on Webscorer immediately following each race (we try to post them faster than it takes to scrub the dirt off your neck). The Webscorer app is the easiest way to get results–install Webscorer from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
