Feb 2, 2024

Climbing Escalade Canada and USA Climbing are excited to announce that the North American Cup Series (NACS) will return in 2024!

NACS features the three individual disciplines of climbing – boulder, lead, and speed – and allows athletes from the Americas the opportunity to compete at an elite level and develop outside of the World Cup circuit. The 2024 NACS will kick off in Salt Lake City, UT in late April and will consist of at least five stops across the United States and Canada.

“We’re excited to partner with Climbing Escalade Canada for a fourth year of the North American Cup Series!” said Marc Norman, President and CEO of USA Climbing. “We have seen this series grow immensely over the last three years and it continues to provide an entirely unique competition experience for climbers across the Americas.”

“The NACS bridges national events and IFSC World Cups, giving athletes additional stops that are both fun and valuable to their development” said Christiane Marceau, Executive Director of CEC. “For our Canadian contenders, the NACS stops are also opportunities to accumulate CNR points, shaping the Team Canada Selection!”

Participants in the Series must be licensed with and register through their respective National Federations. Detailed information sheets for each event including registration, training availability, time schedules, etc. will be provided a minimum of 30 days prior to each event. Rules for the events will be published to the CEC and USAC websites.
