Following the success of the New Zealand campaign at the 2024 ISDE, we have received a significant number of inquiries regarding the 2025 event. The performance and dedication demonstrated by our Women’s Team Rachel Archer, Kylie Dorr, and Taylar Rampton, and Club Riders, Liam Ellis & Chris Birch, has sparked a lot of interest for the upcoming ISDE in Italy. As we look ahead to the 2025 campaign, we are eager to begin planning and organising our campaign.
To ensure that riders have ample time to prepare and fundraise for the event, we are now seeking expressions of interest from both potential riders and a Team Manager or Managers, depending on the number of riders attending. This will help us assess the level of interest and provide the necessary support as we move forward with our preparations for the 2025 ISDE.
Attending the ISDE is primarily self-funded, with indicative costs, based on those who attended in 2024, ranging between $20,000 and $30,000, which also included the expenses for a support person. The team that attended in 2024 was fortunate to secure funding and sponsorship that covered nearly the entire cost of participation. However, achieving this level of financial support required extensive planning, coordination, and a significant amount of effort. Riders should be prepared for the responsibility of fundraising as part of their participation in the event.
We can provide to you further information around preparing for and fundraising for the event, for this information please email [email protected]
We encourage you to visit our Instagram page @isde_teamnz and the ISDE website
Going forward it is anticipated that all funds raised would be shared equally with those participating in the fundraising campaigns. We can provide to you further information around in preparing for and fundraising for the event, please contact [email protected]
