How do I get a RUSA membership?
To register you must be an active RUSA member.
If you are not an active RUSA member head to https://rusa.org/pages/memberservices and register.
Note: if you are registering with RUSA close to the start of an event you likely cannot pay with a check in time. Instead use PayPal and email ashevillerandonneurs@gmail.com with your pre-registration information to get a full registration expedited.

Ultimately all riders must meet or exceed the RUSA guidelines: https://rusa.org/reflectivity
Failure to meet these requirements will result in disqualification from the event.
