Randonneur 5000 and Randonneur 10000 applications are sent to ACP annually in October.

Using PBP'23 Towards R-5000/R-10000

If you are planning on submitting one or both of these applications using your 2023 PBP results, we need your plate number to load your results so that you can submit the application through the RUSA website.  All applications will be automated using our website. No PDF form submissions.

Use this form to let us know your PBP'23 plate number (i.e., frame#). We need this form no later than September 30.

Note: You do not need to use your PBP'23 finish if you have a prior PBP finish (e.g., PBP'19) within the award time period, and that you haven't used for a previous R-5000 or R-10000 respectively. You can then save your PBP'23 finish for a future award.

For All R-5000/R-10000 Applicants

You will have a window between October 2 through 15 to submit your applications and purchase the awards through the RUSA website. You must both apply and purchase the award for ACP submission and recognition for R-5000 and R-10000.

The ACP Centenary 400k medal is now available in the RUSA Store. If you finished a US ACP 400k calendared for July 22, in a region where the RBA is not supplying medals to finishers, you may purchase yours from RUSA Store.

Enter your RUSA# to see the Centenary link to click on below.

Medals are scheduled to be mailed in the fall.

Show your Randonneurs USA Pride with some new swag!

RUSA is excited to announce a new national jersey, which also includes matching arm warmers, knee warmers, vests, caps, shorts and jackets. There are two full kits on offer: a blue option and a pink option.

In addition to the kits, we have three colors of reflective vests available, orange, yellow and pink. The reflective vests have three pockets in the back, a two way zipper and are made of technical fabric. They are race cut so fit tighter than club cut vests. So you may consider sizing up when worn over a jersey with full rear pockets and/or over a long sleeved jersey. For sizing comparison, these reflective vests are sized the same as Voler non-RUSA reflective vests. They are compliant with Paris-Brest-Paris rules, in terms of hi vis and square inches of reflective material (but are not EN 1150 or EN ISO 20471 certified).  The back has RANDONNEURS USA and flag and the front left chest has the RUSA logo.  

Place your orders directly with Voler (links below).

The ordering window closes June 26th. Orders will be shipped Aug 4th.

Questions, feel free to reach out to Dan Driscoll at dandriscoll1@me.com or (817) 925-0158.

For specific questions on the products/sizing please contact Ralph Juarez with Voler directly at 800-488-6537 ext. 216

Thank you to everyone who worked on these designs, development and initiative, with a special shout out of gratitude to Amy Gumprecht (#11669).

NOTE:  For each of these five categories we will need orders for 25 items, for that category to go into production. For the kits, a combination of gloves, caps, jerseys, shorts will all count toward the 25 minimum. If you order a vest in a color that does not make the minimum 25 count once the ordering window closes, you will have the option to either get a refund or move your order to a different color.

The RUSA Board has chosen Debra Banks as recipient of the American Randonneur Award for 2022, from among nominations submitted by RUSA members. 

Each year, the Board "presents an award to a member of the organization who has made a significant and outstanding contribution to randonneuring in the United States" as described on the ARA info page, from among those nominated by RUSA members.

Deb has been RBA for the Davis, CA region since 2017 and in that time has organizer two editions of the Gold Rush Randonnée 1200k. She is a veteran of two PBPs, and five US 1200k's.  She chaired the New Permanents Committee, which brought the Perms program back to life, and streamlined registering for, riding, and reporting results. Deb is also chair of the Gravel Committee, whose provisions RUSA has adopted to create its Gravel Program.

Congratulations, Deb!  

When presented with the award, Deb shared: “I was completely blown away and surprised (actually, truly speechless), when RUSA President, Bill Bryant presented this award to me just before the start of our Super Bowl Populaire (which was a gravel ride!). Thank you to the RUSA Board for selecting me as the 2022 recipient of the American Randonneur award. It is a huge honor to stand among the 20 other recipients including past Davis RBAs, Dan Shadoan and Daryn Dodge! Our sport has changed my life. I love our Rando-community and all of the friends I have made over the years worldwide. I am inspired every weekend by the adventures our community participates in, as we rise to the challenges each ride provides. My Rando-heart is full.”
