General

What are Elite Energy's sustainability and community initiatives?

We use reusable BibSNAPs instead of metal pins at our events so to reduce landfill waste. You can find out more BibSNAPs here. They can be purchased during registration or through our Race Roster event store.

We make an effort to minimise the impacts of our events on the local community. You can find out more about on the Road Closures page.

We are aiming to reduce the number of single-use cups at our events. Bringing your own cup, flask or bottle is a great way to help with this.

Don’t litter! We want to leave this beautiful place in the same pristine condition we found it, so please use the bins on course or carry your rubbish with you (that means gel packets too).

What do I do if I have lost something?

Get in contact with our team via our Contact Us page or email us at office@eliteenergy.com.au.

Do you need volunteers to help at the event?

Do you have friends or family who want to get involved but who are not so keen on racing? Volunteering is an easy and fun way to get involved with the event. Find out more on the Volunteer page.

Who do I contact about sponsorship and partnering with Run Huskisson?
