Rules & requirements

  • Please read fully all of the information on the Rules & Requirements page. By registering for this event, you are accepting these.

Iron Butt Association requirements

Within our organising group and riders, we have a number of keen IBA members and we've recently gained the ability to work directly with the IBA - over verification of NZ rides. For a number of years now, the IBA has recognised the NZDR NI1600 event as a regular 1600km ride, organised and planned to be a compliant ride. Work is now done each year ahead of time to ensure that any finishers of the NZDR NI1600 ride, through the checks which are run throughout our event, can gain fast-tracked verification and certification through the IBA too (a separate process and additional fees apply). If you state your interest in this within the form above, then you'll be contacted separately for some discussion over the additional requirements. These may require the addition of extra photo stops or the use of an online GPS Track Log (SpotWalla.com) to prove the full distance was ridden. - This is worth some coordination before the event, and so please do tick the box above when completing your entry form, it will help us to get in touch with you about this.

​T-Shirt Sizes

​T Shirts are available in a Lady's fit as well as Men's. We use a Biz-Collection ICE-TEE option T-shirt each year, these are very durable, long lasting T-Shirts.
