Events are run under Audax UK’s Regulations. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with those Regulations and with the further guidance and advice published on our website.

An Audax event is not a race or trial of speed. The route is on open public roads. You are required to follow the rules of the road and to show consideration to other road users.

The organiser provides no rescue service. You will need to be self-sufficient during the event. The route is not waymarked or marshalled. You should prepare by studying the route.

Entrants are strongly advised to ensure they have appropriate insurance cover in place for their cycling activities. Audax UK’s insurance policy only provides limited third party insurance to members and temporary members for the duration of the event and is subject to an excess of £500.
