Black Dog Ride website

Registration

Note from the organisers:

Please Note: Online ticket sales for this event will close at Stands Up for each ride location. Rider kits will be available for collection at Check In on the day and Virtual ticket holders will receive theirs after the ride by mail.

No More Paper Registrations On The Day

This is to confirm that following last year's 1 Dayer, on-the-day paper registrations are no longer being supported. This has been ratified by the Black Dog Ride Board, at the request of management and is due to ensuring that all rider information is available to management at any time in case of emergency. It is also now part of our standard risk assessments which is required in order to maintain our insurance coverage ongoing.

Our preference this year is to ensure riders register as early as possible, however understand that there is a considerable portion who sign up on the morning. We will be providing links for riders to sign up, and our ticketing provider, 123 Tix, will have live support available on the day, in case you or your volunteers have any issues. You can contact them on (02) 6881 8632.

We trust that you understand our reasoning and we request your support in relaying this information to your volunteers.
