Simply purchase the AusCycling $11 one day event license when you register.

What time is registration open on Friday before race day?

I can’t make it on Friday to pick up my pack, can my friend pick it up for me?

Yes they can. All they need is your name.

Can I pick my pack up on Saturday morning before the race?

Only if you let us know. We will not have time to register hundreds of riders on Saturday morning, and you risk not making it to the start line in time if you leave it until Saturday morning to pick up your pack. If you absolutely cannot pick your pack up on Friday, and you do not have anyone to pick it up for you, please send us an email.

Where is the event parking?

All participants and spectators must park on the Nannup District High School Oval. Parking on the main street of Nannup is not permitted. Please follow the parking signs to the School (see map here). The parking fee is $10.00 per car, and this is an important fundraiser to help the school purchase much-needed shade sails for the kids.
