Transgender & Non-Binary Participant Policy

SBT GRVL’s policy allows any competitor to register for an entry as the gender with which the competitor identifies. If that gender is different from the gender reflected on the competitor’s birth certificate or is a different gender from that previously used by the competitor at a cycling or competitive sporting event and a complaint is filed, the competitor must provide to SBT GRVL an objective manifestation upon request (documentation or other evidence) that shows the stated gender is sincerely held and reflects the person’s core identity. Documentation satisfying this standard generally may include, without limitation, government-issued documentation or documentation prepared by a health care provider or licensed counselor. The health care provider or licensed counselor must not be the athlete’s first or second-degree relative.
