2026 Garden State Stage Race p/b Vaccaro Law

Welcome to the third annual Garden State Stage Race, hosted by Rutgers Cycling and Team Solutions Cycling. Below, you can find notes that answer many questions about the weekend’s races for collegiate and non-collegiate racers. Once the technical guide is finalized, it will be published here.

 

GSSR consists of three races across two days:

**Saturday Time Trial Course: **https://www.strava.com/routes/3329308748709615106

Saturday Road Race Course: https://www.strava.com/routes/3270441832780239014

Sunday Circuit Race Course: https://www.strava.com/routes/3333583159242461766

 

Volunteer!

We need marshals to run our races. Without marshals, the towns will not let us compete. Please help out! If you can volunteer for one marshal shift, use code “1VOLUNTEER” at checkout to get 33% off your registration. If you can volunteer for two marshal shifts, use code “2VOLUNTEER” at checkout to get 67% off your registration. We will make sure that your marshal shifts do not interfere with your racing. And thank you!

Collegiate fields are open only to collegiate students with valid USAC Collegiate licenses and full-time high school students with valid USAC Junior licenses. No same-day registration will be available for any events.

Large ECCC Teams may submit a spreadsheet with the following information: Rider Name, USAC License Number, Race Category, and Race being entered for each rider (full stage race or just ITT). This spreadsheet must be sent to ethan@eccc-cycling.com as well as road@eccc-cycling.com. Any spreadsheets not received before noon on April 15th will incur a $10 per rider per event late fee. Spreadsheets will not be accepted after noon on April 16th.
