WHAT IS A NICA RACE?
NICA’s inclusive racing format offers participants the opportunity to experience and
learn discipline, success, failure, and graceful defeat. Racing in a NICA environment
helps student-athletes learn empathy, humility, flexibility, and resiliency. NICA
student-athletes learn that it takes a village to build a successful racer, as well as to
put on a race.
This NICA race at Stromlo is an exhibition event showcasing what a NICA event looks
and feels like for the potential future launch of NICA-AUS. Students are encouraged
to participate, but not take things too serious and ask plenty of questions of the
friendly US based NICA staff members who will be in attendance.
NICA’s core values promote Fun, Inclusivity, Equity, Respect, & Community and this
race will highlight all those values. We encourage you to sign up, race with your
friends and learn more about NICA.
Races are an individual (not a relay) multi-lap cross country (XC) format with mass
starts based on grade level and gender separated categories. Results are based on
finishing order within each category with high quality medals awarded within each
category. Maximum race duration time limits are enforced, but regardless of
whether you finish 1 or 3 laps, all racers are scored based on their individual efforts.
