Waiver:
I understand that participation in the 2025 Ipswich100 Bike Ride involves riding on public roads used by other traffic and I am aware of the hazards involved.
In my judgment, I/My Child/My Family/anyone I am registering has sufficient confidence and experience to participate in this ride.
I shall ensure that I/my child/my family will abide by the rules governing the use of the roads and follow any directions given to me by any Ipswich100 event personnel.
I hereby release and exempt and indemnify the organisers, sponsors and other persons and organisations involved in any of the 2025 Ipswich100 events from all actions, proceedings, demands and costs, expense and claims whatsoever made or taken by any persons arising out of my/Family’s participation in the 2025 Ipswich100.
I accept the organisers reserve the right to refuse entry to the event and to change the published route or details from that described, without notice. I consent to the publication and or use in any form of media whatsoever of my name, image, voice, statements or otherwise, before, during or after the event whether for advertising, promotion or otherwise, without payment or compensation.
I acknowledge that competitive sport involves a real risk of serious injury or even death from various causes including; dehydration, physical stress, and health failure; equipment failure; accidents with other competitors, spectators, or road users; drowning, inherent racecourse risks; weather conditions and other causes.
I understand that I should not compete in this event unless I have trained appropriately, and my physical condition has been verified by a medical practitioner as being of a high personal health standard to injure the expected stresses caused by competitive sport. I acknowledge that the leading cause (more than 90%) of non-traumatic sudden death of athletes is related to a pre-existing cardiac abnormality.

I understand that compulsory insurance cover affected for participants in this event may not cover me for any or all injury, loss or damage sustained by me. The event organisers encourage you to take your own insurance out for event day.
By competing, I accept all risks necessarily flowing from my participation which could result in loss of life or permanent injury. Accordingly, I release all persons or corporations associated directly or indirectly with the conduct of the event from all claims demands and proceedings arising out of my participation, and I hereby indemnify them against all liability (including liability for their negligence and the negligence of others) for all injury, loss of damage arising out of or connected with my participation in this event. This release shall extend to and include Ipswich Hospital Foundation and the Brisbane West Lions.

(b) it a transfer of the registration is not possible for the Organisers then the Organisers may refund the registration fee less a service and processing fee due to expenses incurred and to be incurred attributed to each rider to be calculated by the Organisers and accepted by you.
If you are unable to take part on the day, registered riders can transfer their registration to another rider only with a small processing fee. Notification transferring your 2025 registration must be sent to the Ipswich100 organising committee in writing.
Please use the ‘contact us’ page on the website 14 days prior to the event.
I am fully responsible for the security of my personal possessions at the event, including my bike and other valuable items, within the racecourse and event operational area.

If emergency help is required stop an event support vehicle, ask for assistance at any of the rest stops, if nearby, or call for help on 0427 578 641.
Maximum ride times for each of the four events are stipulated in the event support time listed under each event. While event organisers will make every effort to ensure that all participants return to UniSQ to complete the event they have entered there are practical limitations to just how long support facilities at the UniSQ campus can remain in operation. Events are organised to have all rides back at the finish point by 12:00 pm. In compliance with our operational requirements and granted permissions all event facilities will close at 1:00pm. Following this time the site will be packed up and cleared in readiness for normal UniSQ operations the next day.
In an effort to ensure all riders are able to meet the requirements Imperial 100 participants who do not reach Beckwith Rd at the 64.61 km point by 9:30am will be required to detour onto the Classic 100 route. Any who choose to continue on the 169km route will not be supported by the official event support team.
For your own safety and that of the other riders, the use of aero bars (where fitted) is BANNED! while you are participating in the Ipswich 100 Bike Ride event. You must at all times keep your hands up at the hoods where the brakes are.
