Awards for SR, PBP & LEL

Up until the end of 2012 a Super Randonneur was achieved by doing a 200, 300, 400 & 600 km BRM within a rolling 12 month period — it then changed to within a calendar year — and from 2015 onwards SR’s will be awarded for doing same within 1st November till end-October the following year. The fine print:

1. It can be done in any order.
2. Higher distances can stand in for shorter distances.
3. A 1000km BRM is a standalone event.
4. An event can only be a qualifier for one SR series.
5. You can achieve a maximum of 1 SR award in during a period.

Randonneur 5000

• Nico Coetzee – January 2020

(In 1961, the Audax Club Parisien created the Randonneur 5000 award to recognize finishing ACP and Randonneurs Mondiaux events totaling at least 5000km within a four-year period. To qualify for this award, the randonneur must complete the following qualifying events within a four-year period:

a full series of ACP brevets (200, 300, 400, 600, and 1000km) [longer brevets cannot be substituted for shorter ones]; a Paris-Brest-Paris randonnée; a Flèche Vélocio, or other ACP-sanctioned flèche (your team of at least three must finish officially); and additional ACP and/or RM events to bring the total distance up to at least 5000 km.)
