The North American Cycle Courier Championship (NACCC) is a weekend long endeavor that has been held annually for over ten years. This is the 11th installation and Chicago was chosen as the host city following last year's event in San Francisco.

The weekend consists of several activities to keep the best of the best entertained. Messengers of all shapes and sizes get together to exchange our wisdom, exhibit each of our styles and share our love for this industry and culture.

The feature of the NACCC is and always has been a race. The race is done a closed course within the city. Saturday is a day long qualifier followed by a Sunday final race. Each year, the host city creates a controlled environment that mimics the stresses and excitement of everyday work for bike messengers. Since this event floats from city to city, it usually incorporates a taste of each city's unique challenges. The top male finisher and top female finisher to handle the course and workload the swiftest is then crowned Male and Female Champion of North America, respectively. We all then hail them as the greatest things to ever do this job.

Also, just to get it out there and clear up any confusion, everyone is welcome to participate in the race. Non-Messengers are encouraged to compete, and will be placed in their own category for ranking and prizes.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!! We can guarantee you a free event shirt, beer, and free access to any of the number of events that will be held all weekend long. Contact chicagonaccc@gmail.com to help out.
