Entries close 26 March 2008
Please note: on-the-day entries are available to Bring-Your-Own Boat categories only.
Entry is all online and is very simple.
Step 1 - Create an AROC profile
To enter an event you need to first create your own AROC profile. This means that when you go to enter any AROC event you don't need to re-enter all your personal details.
Your user name is your email address and you create your own password. This is stored securely. You can use your email address and password to log in to your AROC profile at any time to update your details.
You can create a profile at any time. To create an AROC profile <click here>.
Step 2 - Log in
Log in using your email address and password. To log in <click here>.
If you have just created your profile and are going directly to enter an event you will already be logged in.
Step 3 - Enter an Event
Click on the enter an event tab which will open up and display the events in which entry is open.
Select the event you wish to enter.
Step 4 - Provide Team Details
a) Provide your team name.
b) Select Solo, Double Sea Kayak, Double Surf Ski, Team of 3, Team of 6 or Team of 15.
c) If you selected a Teams option, select your team members.
d) If you selected a Teams option, please provide your company name.
e) If you selected a Teams option, please provide your company category.
You will automatically be team member No. 1.
Enter your team mates' name and email address where indicated. Make sure the email address is correct. Select the gender of your team mate. This is important as it will enable us to automatically determine what category your team is, ie mixed, all male or all female.
Your team mates will be automatically sent an email letting them know you have selected them for your team. If they do not already have an AROC profile they will be asked to create one.
You can enter an event without your team mates. Just leave your team mates details blank. You will need to log back in at a later time (at least 1 week before the event) to provide your team details.
Press the enter button to continue.
Step 5 - Payment
Once you have entered your team details and press the 'enter' button at the bottom of the page you will be directed to the eWay secure payment site. Enter your credit card details as specified and confirm.
You will be sent a confirmation email and a tax invoice if your payment has been successful.
If you are redirected to the eWay home site this means that the eWay site is down. You will need to come back at a later time to pay your entry. Once you log back in to the AROC site and select the event all the team details will be displayed and you can go straight to the payment section by pressing the 'enter' button at the bottom of the page.
Using a voucher
If you are lucky enough to have a voucher (eg if you previously volunteered at an AROC event) then tick the box "I wish to use a voucher" at the bottom of the event entry page (ie after you have entered your team details). A box will then appear. Enter your voucher number and press the 'enter' button at the bottom of the page. You entry fee will be automatically reduced by the value of the voucher. You can use a maximum of 3 vouchers per event.
The Lifestart Kayak for Kids is a fun paddling event which will see paddlers of different levels battling it on the water or just cruising along! But most importantly, it is a fundraiser for Lifestart, to help children with intellectual disabilities or delays in development reach their potential through community based programs. Each participant, whether an individual paddler or a team can create a web page online and campaign with friends, family and colleagues to raise funds to continue the vital work of Lifestart.
Whether you are entering the Teams Challenge or the Bring-Your-Own division there is a minimum fundraising component. We would also encourage you and your team to raise even more funds.
There will be prizes available for the best fundraising teams, and the best reward will be to meet some of these special kids and their families on the day at the event hub and see how much of a difference you can make in their lives.
Remember, you are helping to create a better lifetime for them.
Fundraising is done online through Everyday Hero. You can set up your own team fundraising page and all transactions are through a secure site. You, your friends, family and company can make donations through your team web page. These donations will form part of your total team fundraising and put you in the competition for best fundraising teams.
