Thank you for your interest in obtaining IBA certification for your NI1600 ride.

This year, 2021 – with the various riding options, either in-person on the day, or as a virtual event there are two pathways to get your certificate.

  1. In-person, on the day. If you completed the ride, in person, on the day, then the event staff will have checked you back in and inspected your photos. For those finishers, the process from here is simple;
    • your completed ride will have been logged in the central rider’s list already
    • pay your IBA certificate fee (US$ through paypal, using the ‘Send-Funds’ option, to paypal@ironbutt.com).
      Don’t send the money to anyone here in NZ, it goes directly to the USA folks.
