Dear Participants and Event Crew,

I am pleased to provide to you the 2017 Tour de Gracetown Event Information Guides which are compulsory reading for all Participants, Event Crew and Volunteers.

This is a comprehensive document which I urge you to read in detail per our requirements of risk management and safety.

Also attached are the required GPS Maps and Maps for this event

It is the onus of all participants and event crew to comply and adhere to the guidelines and requirements of our Event permit as stipulated in this document.

Please note that for 2017 there are Safety Timing Chips to be COLLECTED PRIOR to the event and there are no provisions for postage.

The procedure for collection is as follows:

Safety Timing Chip Collection
You HAVE already nominated to collect your timing chip on one of the following days and note that collection CANNOT take place outside of these times as the location is a busy Sports Medicine practise.

PIHC

ADDRESS: LEVEL 1, 48 KISHORN ROAD
APPLECROSS, TEL: 08-93648626

 Those who have also purchased merchandise for TDG are required to collect their merchandise at the same location.

The following are the designated collection dates:

  • Friday 20th Oct 2017 Time:  1 pm to 630 pm
  • Monday 23rd Oct 2017 Time: 2 pm to 700 pm
  • Wednesday 25th Oct 2017 Time: 730 am to 630 pm

There will be no provision for Timing Chip collection outside of these times and NOT at the start point on Saturday as it will be too time consuming for the volunteers and participants.  You can nominate others to collect on their behalf BUT you MUST provide them with proof of  your registration for them to do so on your behalf.

TDG 2017 comes also with a lot of value added benefits to thank you for your support.

  1. The first is our merchandise store sale which has already been sent to those who had registered earlier.  With discounts ranging from 20% to 40% off RRP – this was definitely a value add to your registration which many have taken advantage of.

The last day for the merchandise sale is on the 7th Oct 2017 and if you missed out on the earlier purchase link – it is here:
