Category: Completed Events 2017

The Audax UK season runs from 1st October to the end of September, so the local 2017 season started with the 23rd October events from Connor Downs, and the last few months of 2017 fall in the 2018 season.

If you complete an event within the time limits and with a valid Brevet you will be included in the number of riders finished and you will usually appear on the full AUK results list for the event. You can order cloth badges and metal medals for the standard distances, and Grimpeur medals for AAA points, online from the Audax UK website.
