ACP brevet medals are available to RUSA members who successfully complete an ACP brevet. As an RBA, you can remind your riders that these medals are available for your ACP-sanctioned brevets. Qualified riders may purchase medals directly from the RUSA Online Store.
Formerly, RBAs could pre-order and resell ACP brevet medals to riders, but this option has now been discontinued. RBAs can, however, order and pay for medals from the RUSA store, and provide them to finishers, so long as they are not directly sold. (For example, your entry fee may reflect a budget of providing medals to finishers.) [12/2017]
As a courtesy to foreign riders from other member countries of the Randonneurs Mondiaux, they may order these medals from RUSA. For example, these riders might be members of the Audax United Kingdom, Alberta Randonneurs, British Columbia Randonneurs, Prairie Randonneurs, Randonneurs
The above exceptions aside (foreign riders and new members), RUSA will not accept medal orders from non-members.To summarize, the following riders can purchase ACP brevet medals:
- RUSA members
- Pending RUSA members
- Foreign riders affiliated with an RM club
The same holds for Randonneurs Mondiaux 1200k-and-longer medals. These are earned by finishing an RM event. Some US organizers create their own medals; others provide the RM medal (which is not event-specific). If the RM medal is not provided, finishers may purchase them from the RUSA Store.
