The epic and prestigious Uriarra Roubaix returns!

One of the best races of the ACT region cycling calendar where instead of cobbles we introduce dust, ruts and loose sand. Wheel out your gravel bike (or better yet just pump up your tyres), harden your body and mind and challenge yourself with the 2021 Uriarra Roubaix!

Do not arrive at the last minute - allow yourself enough time to attach your timing chip and race number.


Volunteers

The 2021 Road season is run by volunteers from the CCC and VCC, but members from other clubs are welcome to volunteer and support racing in the ACT as well as receive the volunteer incentives set out below.

Volunteers will receive the following incentives at eligible 2021 Road Events:

  • Each time you volunteer as a Race Director - 2 free race entries
  • Each time you volunteer in another capacity - 1 free race entry

To be eligible to claim free entry you must have nominated and been allocated to a race.

Use this form to nominate for a race.

Once you have nominated and been allocated to a race in a volunteer role you are free to use your free race entries at any eligible road race. Just hit the 'Volunteer Status Claimed' check box when you are registering.

Remember - it is a trust system. Please only claim volunteer entry if you have done your part to help the clubs as above. Save us the admin of having to cancel your entry if you have not nominated to volunteer, or if you have already used your volunteer credits.

Volunteer FAQ

Can I volunteer for a race later in the season, but claim my free race now?

You are expected to complete your volunteer duty on the date(s) you nominate in the season. If you've nominated and been assigned to volunteer at a race in the future you can still claim the appropriate number of free races before you've volunteered.

Can I volunteer and race on the same day?

Race Director, Assistant Race Director, & Turn Marshall: You cannot race on the day you perform your duty unless you arrange for someone else (ie a friend or relative) to perform your duty on your behalf (must be as capable and willing as you are).

Other Roles (check-in desk, set up, pack up, van/trailer driver etc): You are welcome to volunteer and race on the same day. Just make sure you arrive at the race with enough time to do your job. Once that's done then get ready and race.

How do I claim my free race?

Just tick the 'volunteer status claimed' box when you register for a race. Make sure that you include a quick comment in the entry remarks box explaining which race you are claiming the free entry for. That makes it easy for us to manage.
