Table 1 of the 2026 road regulations sets these maximum race distances, the same for men and women:
| Category | Road race | Stage race | Time trial | Criterium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 15 | 40 km | 30 km | 10 km | 20 min + 3 laps |
| Under 13 | 20 km | 20 km | 8 km | 15 min + 3 laps |
| Under 11 and 9 | 8 km | 8 km | 4 km | 10 min + 3 laps |
An event that wants to go over the maximum for a category must apply to AusCycling to offer the longer distance. In non-championship criteriums, the road race distance is treated as the maximum.
