Event Certification and Resources

EVENT CERTIFICATION

Cycling New Zealand’s Event Certification is a program to support and recognise cycling events (across all codes and levels) that are demonstrating a safe and fair environment for riders, volunteers, officials, spectators, supporters and the public.


It is the intent of the program that events that receive certification will provide a level of assurance to stakeholders (including riders, volunteers, officials, spectators, councils, funding agencies) that the event understands and complies with the relevant laws and regulations and utilises best practice event management. Please see the Terms and Conditions and license agreement for more information.


The program is supported by key documents (Including Event Organisers Toolkit, Rules and Regulations, Guidelines and Event Resources) that are available for all organisers to access to assist with their planning.


Launched in August 2018, this program and its components will be reviewed annually to ensure that best practice Event Management and sports delivery is being maintained.
