Do I need to obtain Aus Cycling insurance for this event?
This event has been sanctioned by Aus Cycling and as a condition of this sanction all riders must obtain Aus Cycling ride membership to participate in this event.
For those who do not have Aus Cycling ride membership or cycling insurance, ANZUP will organise a day pass for you.
Do I have to ride for all 3 hours?
No. It’s up to you and your team to decide how long you ride for, and how often you change riders.
Also, depends on your competitive nature.
Where will I be based on the day?
Every team is allocated a shared garage area. These have tables, chairs, snacks and access to electrolyte water. If you want to share a garage with another team, just let us know.
Is there parking at the event?
Yes, there is ample free parking onsite.
How old do I need to be to participate?
Participation is limited to people aged 16 and over. As this is an open cycling challenge there will be over 150 riders of varying skill levels participating so for the safety of all we need all riders to be fully capable of controlling their bike without supervision.
If you would like to bring along your younger children or any of your family as spectators they will be welcome in the pit lanes and your allocated garage.
Fundraising
Where does the money go?
Every cent we raise through Below the Belt events and our supporters' kind donations goes directly towards clinical trial research via the Below the Belt Research Fund.
Since 2015, Below the Belt has raised over $2 million for below the belt cancer research.
All of the major milestones in controlling cancer worldwide have come through clinical trials, but we still have a long way to go to help every person affected, at risk or diagnosed with this disease.
Our Below the Belt Research Fund has helped our clinicians kick start new trial ideas. To date, seed funding has been awarded to 36 ANZUP members to help gather the evidence needed to develop full scale clinical research studies.
Do I have to fundraise?
As all of the money raised through donations goes straight into ANZUP's Below the Belt Research Fund, we would LOVE for you to fundraise as much as you can.
The minimum amount each rider should fundraise is $500, but we know you can do better than that.
Will I receive a tax invoice?
Yes, every donation over $2 is tax deductible.
Can I set my fundraising goal higher?
If you smash your fundraising goal - great work! You can update your fundraising target by logging in to your fundraiser page.
Then, click your name in the top right-hand corner, then select Edit My Page from the drop-down menu.
Also on this page you can edit your page's URL, create a blog post and add an image to your gallery.
How do I thank someone who has donated to me?
When you receive a donation, you will receive an email letting you know. We encourage you to thank your Donors for their support. You can do this via your profile.
This video shows how to thank a donor that has donated to you.
Thanking a donor that has donated to your team is a very similar process, simply click on your name in the top right-hand corner, click My Team and follow the same process as above.
When you thank a Donor, you will receive an achievement badge either on your personal fundraising page, or your team page.
