Participants in the Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari need to exercise self-responsibility, sound decision-making and appreciate the inherent risks presented by the activities in the event.
 
It's not a race or for the faint hearted - it is designed to be the coldest, longest, hardest, most grueling and uncomfortable test of endurance on a city scooter to raise money and awareness for cancer sufferers.
 
Risks are increased in the Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari by hazards such as fatigue, equipment selection, weather (cloud cover, sun glare, temperature, wind, rain and snow), participants health and skill levels, noise levels, insects and wildlife, other road users, road works, road surface conditions and unfamiliarity with the course.

​Incidents can happen anywhere and at anytime and our safety procedures reflect this. We are continually reviewing our systems, as there are always things to learn, but we are confident our procedures are robust. However, if you identify a hazard, either in the lead up to, or during the Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari, please inform the organisers immediately.

Expect changes since the last time you completed the Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari, so it is important that you read all the information provided here on our website - under the participate tab.
