Bridge-the-Gap Application

Protect Your Event From Financial Loss

Created in 2025, we bring you the MCF “Bridge-the-Gap” program. The program is available to MCF member clubs, teams, and promoters free-of-charge. The program is intended to provide financial backing for weekend racing events organized in coordination with the MCF.

The MCF will provide you with:

  • Additional promotional support through social media, website, and other means

  • Event organization guidance and advice

  • Placement of event on the MCF calendar, including links to registration and results pages

  • Staffing and coordination of licensed Officials

  • Bridge-the-Gap coverage up to $1,000 per event to cover organizer or promoter losses due to:

    • Lower-than-budgeted numbers of rider participation and turnout

    • Event cancellation due to unsafe weather

All we ask in return is:

  • Apply for the Bridge-the-Gap program (website form) for the event at least 45 days before the event

  • Obtain MCF approval for an event budget for the event at least 30 days prior to the event

  • Event must meet MCF event standards and conform with standard categories by event type

  • Use your best efforts to promote the event to the Minnesota and regional racing community

  • Disclose an accurate and transparent accounting of the financial results of the event, including all expenses and revenue sources, within 45 days of the event's conclusion.

  • If the event turns a profit of $200 or more, donate 20% of the event’s net income/profit to MCF to keep the “Bridge-the-Gap” program going
