3. Polar 80km School Challenge
About this page
Back again for a 2nd year, students and staff can enter this special category as part of the Around the Bay in a Day®.
New Event Sponsor for 2009
The Around the Bay team are proud to announce Polar as the event sponsor for the 80km School Challenge ride option. All registered riders in this category will receive a Polar Performance pack, lunch, waterbottle and finisher's certificate, all for $50!
Here's some info on how to enter
You are eligible to enter the Polar 80km School Challenge if you are a student aged between 12 and 18 years old.
If you are aged under 15 years (on the day of event), 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 between 15 (on the day of event) and 18 years do not need a supervising rider, but will require a parent consent approval as part of the registration process.
Team Registration
The Polar 80km School Challenge costs $50. The Team Manager and other supervising riders (if required for larger teams) also pay $50, and must be over 18 years.
2. Fill in Manager’s details
3. The Team Manager then receives via email a Team Code and Team Registration URL link 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 www.atb2009.com.au and then type in the team code (if Team Registration URL link used, this will be pre-filled) at the beginning and continue to complete their registration.
Independent Riders
If you are under 15 years of age 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 www.atb2009.com.au and click on New School Challenge - Registration Form
Riders under 15 years 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.
If you are 15 to 18 years of age and want to ride as individual, click on New Rider - Registration Form and choose the Polar 80km School Challenge in the ride option and complete your registration.
