Racing

NICA started in 2009 with a race series for high school athletes in California. NICA leagues across the country host hundreds of race events each year, creating a place for healthy and supportive competition as where athletes grow and challenge themselves physically and mentally. NICA mountain bike races are some of the best sporting events you’ll ever attend: fun, raucous, and full of positive energy and inspiring efforts.

GRiT (GIRLS RIDING TOGETHER)

Girls Riding Together – is NICA’s focused effort to bring more girls and women into the cycling community to close the opportunity gap for current and future generations. NICA aims to increase female student-athlete and coach participation rates in our programs by 33% by 2023.

Our OK NICA GRiT team includes female leadership and coaches. We’ve seen the success of creating intentionally inclusive team environments for girls on our Tulsa team and beyond!

TTC (Teen Trail Corps)

Oklahoma NICA teams foster personal responsibility and advocacy for the use of trails and wild spaces where we can ride our bikes. NICA’s national Teen Trail Corps program provides student-athletes the opportunity to get involved in trail maintenance efforts and to use their voices to advocate for increased trail access. As users of shared trails, our goal is for OK teams to showcase their commitment as stewards of our trails!

NICA ADventure

NICA Adventure is a program that allows youth to experience the benefits of mountain biking, camaraderie, community, and the outdoors. Adventure reinforces our core values while building health and strength, learning new skills, and being part of a team of like-minded people through outdoor experiential education.
