Adhering to the waxing protocol is essential to ensure fair competition for all racers. Following the guidelines levels the playing field, fostering integrity and respect among athletes, coaches, and parents. We count on everyone's honesty to uphold these standards.
Please note that race organizers may conduct fluorine testing at any time without notice.
To ensure fair competition and lower expenses for athletes and teams, USCSA-RM teams have collectively implemented a rule mandating that all athletes use the same glide wax from Swix. The specific temperature-range glide wax to be used for each race is determined by the race organizer. Only non-World Cup level waxes are allowed; for example, Swix PS or Swix HS are permitted, but Swix TS is not allowed. Grip wax choice is left up to the individual racer.
- Only NON-fluorinated kick (grip) and glide waxes may be used.
