COVID-19 Statement

This is our first road race in a COVID-19 environment. It is important that all participants understand and adhere to the requirements that we have set out below.

• By registering for this event you agree to act in accordance with these requirements.

Attendees will be limited by the overall number of participants, traffic management, and support gathering. This is currently set at 100.

To allow for traffic management staff, commissaires, first aid, race director and a COVID-19 officer total race entries have been capped at 80 riders.

Our first priority is to ensure that we all remain safe and adhere to the current requirements. Please be understanding and support the volunteer staff to make this a successful event.

On the day of the event, the COVID-19 Officer will be responsible for ensuring that participants follow these guidelines. Where a participant fails to comply they will be asked to leave the event.

General Conditions

• Adhere to current social distancing requirements while at the event (including before and after racing). Racing to take place as normal.
• Do not attend if you are exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms.
• We request that no spectators attend the event, as this will reduce the total number of riders who can participate.

NO ‘ON THE DAY’ REGISTRATION

The following registration rules have been applied:

1. Registrations close 12.00 pm 19 June 2020.
2. Preference will be given to registrations from local riders from ACT and associated cycling clubs (eg VCC, CCC, ANU, ADFA etc)
3. The handicapper will be active: please be respectful of their decision and accept the grade you are allocated. All riders should enter their ‘normal’ grade.
4. Places in each grade (more information below) will initially be capped at 16. Once grades are full registrations will go onto a waitlist.
5. Where a grade is not fully subscribed (i.e. we have ‘spare’ places) registrations will be allocated from the waitlist to the relevant grade until we reach our maximum ‘cap’ of 80. We will endeavour to do this as equitably as possible, giving regard to the order that participants registered, and the overall number of participants in each grade.

We ask for your understanding in the event that you register, are placed onto a waitlist, and ultimately are not allocated a start.

If you have registered and subsequently cannot attend please scratch yourself from the race so that your place can be allocated to another rider.

On the Day

Upon arrival please confirm your attendance at the registration desk (including collecting a number or confirming your permanent number) and then move clear of the registration area.

A rider briefing, count and roll call will be conducted before each grade roll away. Please be ready to move to the start line when your grade is called.

At the end of each grade riders should return their temporary number and then clear the start/finish line area to maintain social distancing requirements.

There will be no results presentation at the end of events. Results will be posted to the CCC website.

No refreshments or water will be provided at the end of races.

If any rider exhibits COVID-19 symptoms in the two weeks following the race, they must advise the COVID-19 Officer who will follow up with health authorities.
