The Draw-Tite # 24843 trailer hitch that fits your 2010 Mazda 3 is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver (as are all of the hitches available for your vehicle).

Without knowing your exact model of Thule bike rack I would be unable to tell you its compatibility, only that your rack would need to have a 1-1/4" shank and be Class I compatible, like the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058. If you let me know what model number, or possibly even the name of the rack you have I should be able to give you a more specific answer.
