The Knobby Tire Series is sanctioned by USA Cycling Mountain Bike (formerly NORBA). ALL racers must be licensed to race. You can either apply for an annual license through USA Cycling: www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php, or if you are a Beginner or Sport racer, you can purchase a one-day license either with early registration or on the day of the race. A one-day license is $10.
ALL Experts, Semi-Pros, and Pros MUST be USAC Mountain Bike annual license holders.
In order to qualify to win the Idaho State Championship title (this applies to both XC and Downhill): - You MUST BE A USAC MOUNTAIN BIKE (formerly NORBA) ANNUAL LICENSE HOLDER. This applies to ALL categories from Beginner to Pro. Sorry, no exceptions
- You MUST be a resident of the state of Idaho
You must race a minimum of three (3) Knobby Tire Series races. This does NOT include the Galena Marathon or the NW Collegiate race in September. You must be the highest single points earner in your category. If you move up a category during the calendar year, only half your points go with you. If you move down a category, NO points go with you.

The Galena Idaho State Championship Marathon (Double XC): This race is NOT a points race for a cross-country KTS Series Title or the Idaho State Championship Cross-Country Title. However, it IS the Idaho State Championship Marathon Race.

We will offer an “Open” category for any racers who do not want to purchase an annual license for the Marathon. "Open" is a NON-USAC recognized category. You will not earn USAC Mountain Bike Ultra Endurance points. A one-day license is $10.
