Welcome to the 2026 Tour de Dirt racing season! Race Plates are REQUIRED to race in the series, as the timing tags are on the plate. Racers need only purchase one per season, unless they are lost or damaged (a new one will be required), and a new plate must be purchased each year. To celebrate the start of the season, the first 200 Cat 1, Cat 2, and Cat 3 plate purchases will receive a pair of Tour de Dirt socks! PLEASE READ! Plate purchases are a separate transaction than registering for the race. To race in the 2025 series each racer will need to follow two steps: Purchase your race plate for the season/race here, PICK UP YOUR PLATE ON RACE DAY at the arch, then Register for the race at the race website --> Tour de Dirt Race numbers will be assigned when plates are physically picked up, however racers have a window of time to request a number. R equested numbers are assigned on a first come first served basis, so get your preferred race numbers early! DEADLINE to request plate number
