Get ready for the 2026 Tour de Dirt racing season in Norman, OK! You'll need to purchase a race plate before competing—each plate lasts the entire season and contains your timing tag, though you'll need a fresh one each year (and a replacement if yours gets lost or damaged). Here's what to do: buy your plate first, pick it up on race day at the arch, then register for the specific race on the Tour de Dirt website; plus, the first 200 Cat 1, Cat 2, and Cat 3 plate purchases get a free pair of Tour de Dirt socks! You can request your preferred race number when you purchase your plate, and these are assigned first-come, first-served, so grab yours early.
