Entry, Sign On and Prize Guidelines
To find all our events, go to RiderHQ and search for “WMCCL”. The cost of entry is cheaper if you enter in advance, and you will get an additional discount if you are a members of the WMCCL. Membership also allows you to earn League ranking points and to be included in our age-related league tables. It also means that you will be gridded for the start based on your average points in the league.
On-the-day entrants and non-league members are gridded behind online-entered league riders. Those with high national rankings who think they should be moved up the grid should contact the Chief Commissaire at least 1 hour before their race starts. They may be asked to provide supporting evidence for grid position (Other League table, National ranking or recent results).
To join the WMCCL, go to: WMCCL Membership via RiderHQ
Here are the online entry fees. Note the discount for those who have WMCCL membership.
Online entry will close on the Tuesday before each race – except the Regional Championships, which will close on the Sunday before the event. The Regional Championships must be entered in advance.
Apart from the Regional Championships, you can enter on the day, but it will cost you the following amount on top of the fee listed above:
- £2 for categories U12 & younger
- £5 for all other categories
British Cycling requires riders aged 16 and over, who are not British Cycling members, to pay an additional £5 event surcharge. This must be paid in cash at Rider Registration on the day of the race. Therefore, if you are not already a member of British Cycling, you should consider joining via: British Cycling Membership. You will need to apply for the free provisional license to avoid the £5 event surcharge at WMCCL events.
Your entry fee includes a contribution to an overall prize fund, which is divided up and awarded to the leading League members in each category at the end of the season. No prize money is paid to those who are not members of the League.
Any rider taking part in a race without first having entered via the online entry system or by on-the day entry will be suspended from the WMCCL and reported to British Cycling for further sanction.
At a riders first race day they will collect their timing transponder and their race number which they will keep for the season. Numbers and timing transponders must be returned at the end of the season. Failure to do this may result in a surcharge being applied to WMCCL membership in the following season.
On-the-day entrants and non-league members will also be gridded at the back of the grid of their respective category.
All Under-16 categories will have on the day podium medals for boys and girls – whether they are registered with the league or not – but only WMCCL registered riders will be eligible for overall league awards.

Code of conduct for spectators and families
We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour and ensure the Shimano Lazer WMCCL is an enjoyable, safe and positive environment.
Events in the League are voluntarily organised to develop riders’ technical, physical, tactical and social skills. Winning isn’t everything!
Please play your part and observe our Code of Conduct at all times by agreeing to:
- Encourage and applaud effort as well as success
- Respect the organisers’ commissaires’ and committee’s decisions
- Stay off the course during each race
- Avoid criticism of a rider for any mistakes or errors
- Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive behaviour or language
One Bike ‘Cross
The WMCCL has an additional subcategory within the league for those riding just one bike during races. This does not apply to the Under-12 categories, which are already ‘one bike’ according to British Cycling rules.
