RACE RULES
1. Cycle helmets approved to Snell, ANSI or NZ Standards must be worn and done up at all times when competitors are in charge of their bike. There is to be no drafting and no use of aero bars, this will result in disqualification if not adhered to.
2. Assistance other than from race officials and medical personnel will result in disqualification.
3. Race officials and medical personnel have the right to remove competitors from the race.
4. All road rules and marshal’s instructions must be observed. The course will be marked and marshalled. A car will follow the last runner.
5. No drinks are to be given during the race.
6. No bikes are to be removed from the transition area until the last race is completed. This could result in disqualification.
7. No video cameras or cameras are allowed in the transition area.
8. Competitors enter at their own risk.
9. The Race Director’s decision is final.
10. ALL COMPETITORS MUST REPORT IN AND ATTEND THE RACE BRIEFING. OFFICIAL DUTIES
All schools that enter competitors are required to allocate one person for official duties. These people must be named on the official entry form, and schools’ marshals will need to choose one of two categories for assistance – before, or after the races. In addition to this, all marshals will be required to be available for duties during the races. Entries may be in jeopardy if this is not completed. Should a person be unable to fulfil their obligation on the day then it is up to the school to ensure a replacement is made and notified to the Sports Director. It is not possible to run the event without official staffing. However as all the preliminary work is done from the Sports Director’s Office no teacher release payments will be made. Depending on the number of entries, we may need to send children off in waves within a race. The official placings will be posted on the website as soon after the event as possible – probably by the day following the event.
