Human-powered

Any form of human powered vehicle is acceptable, but the vehicle must be powered solely by the rider. Each rider must be self sufficient. No personal follow cars or support of any kind are permitted on the course. Personal support is only allowed at checkpoints. Riding together with unregistered riders will result in disqualification.

Bike and rider check (more info: Safety and Instructions)

Before starting any Korea Randonneurs ride, staff and members must make sure their condition and equipment are suitable for riding. A limited amount of lights and reflective gear for purchase at the start of brevets.

Controls

Along the route of a brevet, checkpoints are designated. These checkpoints will be published together with the route of the event. Controls are needed to prove that the rider did not take a shortcut. Usually, riders take selfies with the control points for proof of passing, but manned controls are also possible, where the staff gives riders a stamp.

Brevet card

Every rider will receive a brevet card which the rider has to carry during the whole ride. It must be stamped (and time marked) at the start and the finish. Control photos and/or stamps will be checked at the finish, and if the rider finishes within the time limit, a certificate will be handed out and official ACP medals can be purchased. Every brevet card will be officially homologated in Paris by the ACP, and will be send to the riders later in the year.

Route Compliance

The prescribed route must be followed. If a rider deviates from the prescribed route (either purposely or accidently), he has to turn back to the point where he left the prescribed route and resume from there.

Disqualification

Violation of any rule (DNQ - Did Not Qualify) and not arriving within the time limit (OTL - Out of Time Limit) results in disqualification.
