Event Day

Is there a bag compound?

No. It is the responsibility of each competitor to ensure they keep their personal belongings in a safe and secure place whilst taking part in the ride.

Will medical Support be available on course?

There will be mobile medical support provided on the course. This includes ambulances with paramedics and medical vehicles with doctor's and sports trainers. If you require assistance while on the course you can either use your own mobile phone to contact the event mobile maintenance vehicle (noted on the event information sheet sent out with the ride kit) or advise a course marshal, police officer, traffic management or event staff member, who will then call for assistance.

What level of medical cover is provided?

A medical facility will be set up at the start/finish venue and staffed by the Event Medical Director and sports trainer. Mobile Medical Support vehicles, including an ambulance will be used to provide medical coverage on the course.

How long before the ride should I get to the start area?

Participants should aim to be at the start area well before start time as there will be 1000's of other cyclists all trying to arrive on time and get a spot at the start line. We recommend being ready to take your place in the start area 30 minutes before your start time.

What happens if I have mechanical trouble?

There will be mobile mechanical support provided on the course. This includes mobile bike mechanic vehicles. If you require assistance while on the course you can either use your own mobile phone to contact the event mobile maintenance vehicle (noted on the event information sent out prior to the event) or advise a course marshal, police officer, traffic management or event staff member, who will then call for assistance.

Please note that all participants should be carrying spare tubes or a repair kit as it is expected that riders can repair their own punctures. Any costs associated with replacement parts will be charged for by the mechanical support teams.

What happens if I have to withdraw from the ride?

There are no problems if you need to pull out of the event for any reason. If you do need to stop riding for any reason (tired, injured, sick or broken down bike) then there are Event SAG Wagons following the last cyclists that will be able to pick you and your bike up and return you to the venue.

Am I insured in the case of an accident?

No, the 2XU Great Ocean & Otway Classic Ride is covered by public liability insurance only – there is no personal insurance associated with this, so it does not cover accidents caused by yourself, individuals or other riders. It is therefore strongly recommended that participants have personal accident insurance (Cycling Australia, Bicycle Australia, Triathlon Australia) or top personal medical cover/insurance.

Participants requiring ambulance transport will be charged directly for this service. SuperSprint highly recommend that participants hold current ambulance cover.

Post Event

When do I get my show bag?

At the completion of the ride after you cross the finish line you can collect your show bag from the refreshment marquee.

Where can I find photo's of the event?

General event photos can be viewed on the SuperSprint website under the Gallery heading.

Individual participant photos will be available from the Official Event photographer (Marathon Photos- www.marathon-photos.com) after the event.

Who do I contact if I have feedback?
Your feedback is very important to us and crucial in improving the event for future years. 

An official event survey will be sent to your email account following the event for you to complete if you so wish.

If you have any further feedback which you would like to give, please email info@supersprint.com.au
