We currently offer Novice, Closed, Open categories for participants, which gives LGBT athletes as much choice as possible to compete. (See competition rules for more details of this).

LGBT IPC started in 2017 and in 2018 was the first sports event in the world to offer an MX third gender category, welcoming Trans, Non Binary and Intersex athletes to compete. The LGBT IPC 2019 and 2021 will also have an MX Category !
