A1 CLUB MEMBERSHIP LEVELS

Its time to recognise the incredible human strength to survive these races.  Membership levels encourage and reward you for conquering various race lengths from the heart stopping pace of the 24 hour races through to epic expedition length races.

GUEST CLUB

Did you get a heartbreaking DNF, an unranked or competed in a 2-person team? Conquering your first race is just around the corner. For now welcome to the A1 Guest Club where you have an online profile and are part of the A1 community.

A1 CLUB POINTS SYSTEM

Let’s be clear up front, Adventure 1 subscribes to team rankings as the official means of recognising performance in the sport of adventure racing.

BUT why not have some fun in the background for debate, discussion and banter.  So yes, we understand some faster athletes race in slower teams and slower athletes race in faster teams, and a top athlete may get a DNF due to a bike failure or a slow member might get towed more than another and aunt Mary packed the wrong energy biscuit for you in race 3…

Life isn’t always fair and s**t happens… so just as in life, the best medicine to deal with the ups and downs is to have a bit of fun… so here are the rules for earning your A1 ranking points…

Footnotes:

  1. Teams will be recorded in multiple categories where they qualify in a single race (eg in Masters and all-male) or in a season as a result of fielding a different team at a different race (eg Team ABC competed in 2 races in Premier Mixed and the rest in All Male would have a ranking in both categories)
  2. The OVERALL points allocation system is created to ensure teams are recognised for their efforts in staying together, even if they can't field a team in their chosen category. Note that the "Premier Mixed" category ranking remains the prestigious category to determine the A1 team champions.
  3. An exception is for members of a team unranked due to a retired team member, but whose remaining members go on to finish the full course. These finishing members receive A1 Club points equal to their theoretical ranked position and can use this race towards their A1 Club membership levels. The retired team member only gets the 1 DNF point.
  4. Half course races need to be at least 24hr in duration to earn points.
