 Event Organiser Guides : 

  •  AusCycling has developed ‘Organiser Guides’ for each discipline which provide event organisers and promoters with information and tools to successfully plan and deliver a cycling event.

  • The primary purpose of these guides is to provide a structured approach to planning and delivering successful events and to ensure the safety of participants, the workforce and spectators.

  • The guide has been structured to provide a standardised approach to event management which is supported by specific information relating to each cycling discipline. These guides can be found at: https://www.auscycling.org.au/page/resources 

All races must be registered and sanctioned by AusCycling.
