Climbing Escalade Canada (CEC) and USA Climbing (USAC) are pleased to announce that the North American Cup Series (NACS) Manual has been updated for the 2025 season.
The only change in the manual is related to age eligibility, aligning with the IFSC Eligibility Code.
2025 NACS Age Eligibility
- The 2025 NACS will be open to athletes who are 17 years old or older as of December 31, 2025 (i.e., born in 2008 or earlier).
- A new clause has been added, allowing each NACS host to include a U17 (Youth B) category at their discretion. If offered, this category would be open to athletes born in 2009-2010.
- Cash prizes will be awarded exclusively to the Adult category.
