Important Event Information

This year we have introduced a Corporate Team section – all corporate teams must have a minimum of one female rider.
There will be E-Bike 4 Hour Team and an E-Bike 8 Hour Team categories – you must be in this category even if there is only one E-Bike rider in your team.
All riders entering in the 8 Hour Race must be 13 years or over on race day. There is no age restriction for the 4 Hour Race and there is a category for U15 teams this year.
Spot prizes will be given away during the day. Riders will be notified if they have won a prize as they cross the start/finish line. They must then report to the Club Marquee to collect their prize. Spot prizes for solo riders will be held at the marquee until after the race.
Prize giving for the 4 Hour race will be on course at approximately 5.20 pm. Prize giving for the 8 Hour race will also be on course as soon as we have the results.
For teams, every team member must ride at least one lap of the course.
Teams will be issued with a reflective wrist band, which is to be passed on to the next rider for the team before they commence their lap. All team riders on the course must wear the band and failure to do so could mean forfeiting the lap. Please return the wrist band at the end of the race.
All persons entering this event are required to read the entry form thoroughly, understanding the terms of entry. Individuals signing this form on behalf of a team are to ensure that all team members have read and understand the terms of entry.

Average lap times are expected to be approximately 30 minutes.
The organisers reserve the right to alter the course, start time or duration of the event if conditions warrant.
