Korea Randonneurs

Randonneurs?

Randonneurs are long-distance unsupported endurance cyclists who cover distances between 200km and 1200km and beyond.
Randonneuring (or brevet) is not a racing or competitive event.

History

Randonneuring has its roots in France and every four years in August, the 1200km event Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) is held. The Korea Randonneurs were established in 2009 and the first brevets were held in 2010. Currently, more than 10,000 members are actively participating.

Equipment

Any form of human-powered vehicle is acceptable.
However, the vehicle must be powered solely by the rider.
Participation requires you to be equipped with a helmet, a reflective vest and ankle bands, one front light, and two rear lights.

Rules

Riders must comply with the Safety Instructions and obey Korean traffic rules.
Each rider must be self-sufficient. No personal follow cars or support of any kind are permitted on the course.
Also, riding with individuals or groups who are not participating in the brevet is not allowed.

Route Compliance

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

Disqualification

Violation of any rule or not arriving within the time limit results in disqualification.

In particular, you must carry your brevet card yourself at all times.
Failure to carry or loss of the card will also result in disqualification.
