NICA

NICA exists because of the generous support of our founding partners, national partners, and donors like you. If the interscholastic cycling movement moves you, please consider donating and help get one more kid on a bike!

NICA is More Than Racing...

NICA began as a race organization. Over the years, NICA has expanded to be inclusive of many stories: from trail stewardship, to girls riding together, to adventure by bike, our programs showcase the depth of our community and initiatives.

Coach Education Program

The purpose of the NICA Coach Education Program is to deliver comprehensive training to NICA coaches that provides the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide quality programming to NICA student-athletes. Quality coach education is the cornerstone to developing great youth coaches who can support the mission and vision of NICA.

Dogs make great team mascots, especially when they`re wearing a NICA jersey! 🕺

Many of our leagues welcome doggos to race events where land regulations allow. Who`s your favorite canine trail cheerleader? Post yours in the stories and grab our #DogsOfNICA gif by searching @nationalmtb in the stickers section of Instagram 😎
