M2M pioneer competitor rewards scheme
As a way of recognising those pioneering athletes that supported the inaugural Marysville to Melbourne event in April 2011 we are offering a tremendous reward scheme if you come back again in 2012 with a friend or two.
All Pioneer competitors who return and recommend a friend who also does the 2012 M2M will receive a FREE 2XU Marysville to Melbourne FLEECE, valued at RRP$120. 
All you have to do is inspire a friend who did not do the 2011 event to enter this year's event as either an individual or in a team and if you are also racing again this year you will walk away with a free M2M fleece to keep you warm prior to the early morning start up at Marysville!
HOW TO CLAIM YOUR FLEECE (and the rules and regs of the offer)
- The new entrant must include the name of their recommending 'Pioneer Competitor' at the time of entering by typing it into the Profile Information box in the online entry system (the names of recommending Pioneer Competitors cannot be added to your entry once you have already entered)
- A Pioneer Competitor can recommend as many people as they like but they can only receive one fleece in total
- The Pioneer Competitor must also compete in the 2012 Marysville to Melbourne – either in a team or as an individual
- Where a member of a Pioneer Team (a team who competed in the 2011 M2M) recommends a new entrant to race the 2012 event, only one fleece will be provided to that pioneer team, not one for each team member from that Pioneer Team
- The M2M reward fleece is available for all new entry recommendations, whether the new person competes in a team or as an individual but only one fleece will be awarded per entry (so a new team entry with 6 people can only award one fleece to one Pioneer)
- New team entries can only earn a fleece for their nominating Pioneer Competitor if the majority of the team are new competitors (so if you are a team of 6, then 4 team members must be new competitors)
- All entries that nominate a Pioneer Competitor to receive as fleece must be submitted by 5:00pm on April 8th, 2012.
Special sporting club entry offer: 10% ENTRY FEE CASH BACK
As an way of helping support and encourage outdoor activity clubs (triathlon, run, ride, paddle, adventure), we are offering all relevant sporting clubs 10% entry fee CASH BACK for every team or individual that clubs encourage to enter from amongst your members.
Eligible entries must carry the club name and the cash rebate will be paid back to the club to help fund club activities. So here is a direct opportunity for clubs to raise some much needed cash by simply encouraging your members to do what they do best and enter the M2M. The more entries that originate from a club the more cash the club receives in return. (Note for team categories, all team members must be part of same club to be eligible for the entry fee CASH BACK).
Contact Rapid Ascent (via info@rapidascent.com.au) to let us know about your club entries and then we’ll arrange the cash back after the event - easy peasy!
So start organising your club members to enter a team now (and be sure to name your team after your club) and watch the dollars roll in... and if you need any materials like event photos, training articles or logos to help get the M2M word out there just let us know!

- An individual may transfer their entry to another individual for a $15 transfer fee up to 12 hours before the event (but the earlier the better). No transfers will be accepted after this time.
- Providing there are spaces available, a team may transfer from a higher entry fee event (eg team of 6) to a lower entry fee event category (eg team of 3) up to 12 hours before the event. In this case, the difference between the two entry fees will be refunded as a credit to another Rapid Ascent event less a $30 admin fee or refunded as cash less a $40 admin fee.
- Providing there are spaces available, a team may transfer from a lower entry fee category (eg team of 3) to a higher entry fee event (eg team of 6) up to 12 hours before the event for the cost of the increase in entry fee only – no admin fee will be charged.
- Team entrants may change the composition of the team free of charge online up to 7 days before the event, provided one team member and the total number in the team remain the same as when initially entered. On line changes made to teams less than 7 days before the event may not be carried through to registration nor results and photos on the event website – in which case we recommend any urgent and last minute changes made to teams in the last week be made over the phone with the Rapid Ascent office
- If a competitor or a team voluntarily withdraws from the event (due to injury, illness…) and notifies Rapid Ascent more than 2 weeks prior to the race they have the choice of receiving either a credit towards a subsequent Rapid Ascent event less a $30 administration fee OR receiving a cash refund of your entry fee less a $40 administration fee
- If a competitor or a team voluntarily withdraws from the event and notifies Rapid Ascent LESS than 2 weeks prior to the race: No cash refund or entry credit will be given in any circumstances.
If the event is deemed unsafe or unable to be held on the proposed date due to extreme climatic conditions, the following steps shall be followed:
- Rapid Ascent will endeavour to reschedule the event to another date with all entries carrying over to the new date
- If you are unable to attend the newly proposed date no refunds will be made
- If the event cannot be rescheduled for any reason Rapid Ascent will endeavour to refund a component of your entry fee after all event costs have been taken into consideration OR offer all participants a entry credit (of a value to be determined by Rapid Ascent) to a future Rapid Ascent event
Note:
- In all other circumstances it should be assumed that the event is still going ahead UNLESS otherwise stated
- Rapid Ascent reserves the right to alter or amend the originally proposed course(s) from that which was published on the event website for any reason
- Advice of any event postponement or change will be made on the front page of the event website as early as possible before the event, and will be posted to the official race notice board at the registration marquee
