Celebrate the team spirit of the Around the Bay in a Day® 2009 - Get Sponsored for The Smith Family by being part of the 80km School Challenge! Your school has the chance to create history by being rewarded with a Perpetual Trophy to proudly display in recognition of outstanding participation.

You are eligible to enter the 80km School Challenge if you are a student aged between 12 and 18 years old.

If you are aged between 12 and 15, you will need a team manager to register in order to supervise your team during the ride – ie. someone who is over 18 (a parent or relative, family friend, teacher). Supervisers are not required for each rider in the team.

Riders aged 16 to 18 do not need a supervising rider, but will require a parent consent form to be signed.

Team Registration

The 80km School Challenge costs $75. The Team Manager and other supervisoring riders (if required for larger teams) also pay $75, and must be over 18.

The Team Manager registers at http://atb.bv.com.au and clicks on "New School Challenge - Registration Form"

1. Select type of team – School Challenge Team.

2. Fill in Manager’s details

3. The Team Manager then receives via email a team code in which to advertise to the school and invite riders to join the team.

4. Once the team is set up, riders can start a "New Rider Registration Form" at http://atb.bv.com.au and then type in the team code at the beginning and continue to complete their registration.

Independent Riders

If you are 15 years or younger and not a member of a team, and will be riding only with your supervisor, your supervisor still needs to enter as a School Team Manager at http://atb.bv.com.au and click on "New School Challenge - Registration Form"

If you are 16 to 18 years of age and want to ride as individual, you will need to enter as the team manager, as individual entries into the 80km School Challenge are not possible.

You have to register as a team - you cannot enter the 80km through the "New Rider Registration form" as an individual, unless you have a team code, which your team manager will get once registered.
