Welcome to INDY100 (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated via indy100.org and related digital properties. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of our website, digital content, registration portals, and participation in the INDY100 cycling challenge scheduled for Saturday, August 21, 2027, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

By accessing or browsing this website, downloading digital assets, or submitting an event registration, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Use and our companion Privacy Policy and Participant Liability Waiver.

2. Event Registration, Fees & Transfers

Registration for the INDY100 (25-mile, 62-mile/100km, or 100-mile Century) is non-refundable. Because permits, event logistics, safety personnel, and custom swag orders are committed months in advance, registration fees cannot be refunded under any circumstances, including but not limited to rider schedule conflicts, minor illness, or personal travel changes.

Bib Transfers: Official rider bib transfers and distance category changes may be requested up to fourteen (14) days prior to event day by emailing registration@indy100.org (or registeration@indy100.org). Unofficial or unauthorized selling or exchanging of race numbers or timing chips without signed organizer approval is strictly prohibited.

3. Participant Safety, Helmets & Trail Etiquette

All registered participants must strictly comply with all safety instructions, traffic regulations, and ride coordinator directions:

• Mandatory Helmets: Every cyclist must wear an approved, undamaged, securely fastened CPSC/ANSI/SNELL helmet while riding.
• Rules of the Road: Courses are open to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Riders must obey Indiana traffic laws, stop signs, and traffic signals at all intersections.
• Greenway Etiquette: Multi-use corridors such as the Monon Trail and Nickel Plate Trail are shared with runners, walkers, and families. Riders must announce passes clearly and yield right-of-way.
• Bicycle Standards: E-bikes (Class 1 & 2 pedal-assist adhering to local municipal trail regulations) and human-powered bicycles in safe mechanical condition are permitted. Fixed-gear bicycles without functional brakes and aero bars in pacelines are prohibited for safety.

4. Inclement Weather, Force Majeure & Tentative Operational Status

The event date is set for Saturday, August 21, 2027. With the exception of this confirmed date, all operational components of the event—including all scheduled rides, course routes, distances, elevation profiles, wave launch protocols, aid stations, Hammer Nutrition fueling provisions, roving SAG vehicle patrols, and course sweeps—are tentative and subject to acts of God, severe weather, public safety authority directives, emergency road repairs, change, alteration, or cancellation until the successful completion of the event.

The INDY100^SM is a rain-or-shine endurance event. However, organizer officials in consultation with local public safety agencies (Indianapolis Metropolitan Police, Hamilton County Sheriff, Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville authorities) reserve the right to delay, postpone, reroute, or cancel any course segment in the event of severe lightning storms, tornadoes, active flooding, road hazards, acts of God, or civic emergencies. In the event of force majeure cancellation, delay, or route alteration, no refunds will be issued.
