• Pedal Prix Racing -Marshal Training

    2026 Edition
  • Completed Marshal Training Previously:*

  • You do not need to complete Marshal training in 2026. You just need to have access to your 2024 or 2025 Marshal ID number.

  • Through the modules contained within this form, you will be able to complete the PPR Marshal Training Package. The PPR Marshal Training is utilised across the Pedal Prix/HPV races in South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland. 

    Marshals who trained/retrained in 2024 or 2025 (have a Marshal ID of AIPP-M-24 or 25-####) do not need to retrain in 2026.

    If you completed the 2023 package, you will need to complete the full update.

    All new marshals in 2026 will complete the full training package. Through this process, you will review a range of information and complete a series of short questions. Upon successful completion, you will be allocated a Marshal Training ID Number. Understanding of the provided information helps contribute to a safe racing environment.

    Ensure you are familiar with the 2026 Championship Rules and relevant Event Manuals for each round/race you are volunteering at via your series websites:

  • Marshal Requirements & Behaviours

  • All teams are required to have a minimum of at least 2 trained marshals per team available at each event entered (all marshals must have retrained in 2024, 2025 or 2026).

    Marshals shall be briefed by their Team Manager regarding their Marshal Position, Role, and allocated time. This information is also available on the relevant race page for each round (found by clicking on each race in the calandar at ahpvss.com) A Marshal Roster is published on the website at least a week prior to each Round. We recommend re-checking the Marshal roster on the day of the race, as changes may occur.

    Each marshal will report in by two-way radio on each change over identifying their Team and Marshal position. Marshals are allocated some or all of the following items, depending on their role:

    • Traffic lights/Flags (Red, Yellow, Green)
    • Safety Vest
    • 2 Way Radio
    • Clipboard, paper and pen
    • Circuit and Hazard Maps
    • For health management marshal buckets may also contain gloves, face masks, and antiseptic wipes.

    PPR expects Marshals to look after this equipment and report any missing items to the Chief Marshal. At the conclusion of the event the last marshals on duty are required to return all items to Race Control.

     

    Marshalling non-compliance

    Marshalls must attend their allocated position on time.

    Non-compliance with Marshalling duties may result in the team attracting a penalty or extra marshalling duties

    The Chief Marshal will conduct radio checks at changeover times.

    All first shift Marshals MUST ATTEND the Marshal Briefing prior to the race (approx 60-90mins prior to race start) which normally takes place in front of race control. First Shift Marshals will collect their Marshalling bucket for their Marshal Point. We recommend all Marshals to attend this briefing as it covers track/circuit specific information.

    All last shift Marshals MUST REMAIN AT THEIR POST at the end of the race, until the track is declared safe by the Race Director. The Chief Marshal or Race Director will then advise when to leave, and return equipment to Race Control.

  • An event marshal must:

    • Complete the Online Training Package and included Indemnity Form
    • Be 18 years of age or over
    • Be familiar with the Series Rules (avaliable on the Team Manger Page, via ahpvss.com)
    • Be familiar with Event Manuals for the relevant Event/s via the relevant race page on ahpvss.com (or the relevant documentation for the event you are volunteering at).
    • Review the AIPP Code of Conduct, and Compliant and Protest Handling Procedure, available on the Team Manager Page, via ahpvss.com (or the relevant documentation for the event you are volunteering at).
    • Be physically capable of undertaking the marshalling roles described

    Always be aware of your own safety and:

    • Stay alert – don’t become distracted (Mobile phones, tablets, etc.)
    • Where possible stand behind a barrier.
    • Always face oncoming traffic.
    • Never turn your back to approaching vehicles.
    • Wear the safety vest provided.
    • Wear clothing appropriate to the conditions.
    • Be sun smart.
    • Give clear and direct instructions to riders and other marshals.
    • Do not enter into a conflict situation.
    • Do not accuse or threaten. (Report any issues to the Chief Marshal)
    • Maintain radio contact with Chief Marshal when necessary.
    • Brief relieving marshal on any issues considered relevant.
  • How many trained marshals are required per team at each event entered?*
  • Who is responsible for reporting any missing items of marshaling equipment to the Chief Marshal?*
  • I have read and agree to abide by the AIPP Code of Conduct avaliable on the website*

  • Marshal Roles and Responsibilities

    There are five primary marshal roles, which are explained in detail following. Track Marshal, Recovery Marshal, Pit Entry Marshal, Pit Exit Marshal and Sector Marshal

  • Track Marshal – May be selected from ALL registered teams

    The primary duty of the track marshal is to monitor and control the flow of the race as directed by the Chief Marshal.

    Track marshals control flags and lights at various locations, which may include pit entry and exit.

    Track marshals should go immediately to yellow flags and/or lights if there is a roll-over or hazardous situation on the track or within the identified hazard zone for their marshal point.

    This should then be radioed to the Chief Marshal identifying the incident details and marshal point.

    Take further direction from the Chief Marshal / Race Director / Sector Marshal as required

    Once the incident is clear the reporting marshal should turn off the yellow lights / flags and immediately advise the Chief Marshal.

    The Track marshal should NOT leave their post to assist riders unless there are two or more marshals at that position.

    If assistance for vehicle repairs is required, advise the chief marshal via radio, who shall organise recovery or team assistance.

    Marshal buckets will be supplied with a “Hazard Zone” map, which will highlight zones where it is considered dangerous to attend to vehicles or incidents, adjacent to their Marshal Point

    Vehicles which stop adjacent to the track which are outside the designated “hazard zones” DO NOT warrant a yellow flag or light.

    Track Marshals shall also monitor rider and vehicle behaviour on the track and report incidents to the Chief Marshal.

    To build rider confidence in signals and create a culture of compliance, during racing, Marshals must never show a yellow signal to any rider if there is no hazard.

    A Track Marshal CANNOT call a Red Flag or implement penalties and must take such directions from the Chief Marshal/Race Director ONLY.

  • What is the primary duty of a track marshal?*
  • What should a track marshal do if there is a hazardous situation within their marshal point?*
  • Can a track marshal implement penalties or call a Red Flag?*

  • Recovery Marshal – May be selected from ALL registered teams

    The role of a Recovery Marshal is to assist vehicles/rider in distress, or which have succumbed to a racing incident.

    Only enter the track under yellow flag conditions, and only when safe to do so.

    AT NO POINT SHOULD YOUR BACK BE TURNED TO APPROACHING VEHICLES.

    Before moving a vehicle, that has been involved in a racing incident you MUST make audible communications with the rider.
    Throughout any process of rendering assistance to a person, ensure you inform them of each action and do not proceed until you have received an affirmative response – follow the minor incident procedure

  • Recovery Marshal
  • What precaution should a Recovery Marshal take before moving a vehicle that has been involved in a racing incident?*

  • Sector Marshal – Specifically selected by Chief Marshall based on experience

    Sector marshals will be positioned at specific locations around the track where there is a higher likelihood of incidents, co-located with Recovery and Track marshals.

    Sector marshals will be specifically selected by the Chief Marshal, from senior teams and other persons with significant marshalling and/or race experience.

    Their primary role is to oversee critical track sections and to monitor and assist, Track and Recovery marshals to perform their duties competently and efficiently.

    Sector Marshals shall take coordinating control of incidents within their designated areas and liaise directly with Race Control.  If the Race Director or Chief Marshal attends the incident, then direct control will pass to them.

    Sector Marshals can direct other marshal to change lights to yellow or yellow/red. They require confirmation and direction from the race director/chief marshal to move the track to red conditions.

    Track and Recovery marshals shall take direction from Sector Marshals where required.

    Ultimate control and decisions on incidents remain with the Chief Marshal /Race Director.

  • Pit Entry/Exit Marshal – May be selected from ALL registered teams

    The principal role of both Pit Entry and Exit marshals is to provide a safe and orderly pit lane entry and exit, and monitor speed in pit lane.

    Pit Entry/Exit marshals may also be asked to manage lights and flags.

    These tasks take priority over pit entry/exit duties.

    Pit Entry Marshals:

    • Indicate to the vehicle to slow down to the events specified pit lane speed (check event manual) before they enter the pit lane proper.
      • Waving of arms and verbal communication to vehicles only
      • Do not make contact with or place yourself in the path of a vehicle
    • Advise people to keep out of pit lane, and not inhibit or interfere with vehicles entering pit lane.
      • Advise the chief marshal if people continue to frequent pit lane in an unsafe manner or infringe the rules.
    • Report any excessive speed in pit lane
    • Indicate to riders to keep their harnesses fastened and lids closed whilst entering pit lane.

      • If reporting a person, please try to identify their team
      • If reporting a group of people/team, please try to identify their team name (orginisation/school) or pit no.
    • Pit Entry Marshal may be required to operate flags and lights as directed by Chief Marshal. If required, this takes priority over Pit Entry duties.
       

    Pit Exit Marshals:

    • Indicate to the vehicle to stay at the event specified pit lane speed limit (check event manual) before they exit the pit lane proper.
      • Waving of arms and verbal communication to vehicles only

      • Do not make contact with or place yourself in the path of a vehicle
      • If the trike has stopped, you can assist to move it out of the pit lane
    • Pit Entry Marshal may be required to operate flags and lights as directed by Chief Marshal. If required, this takes priority over Pit Entry duties.
  • Pit Entry and Exit
  • What is the primary role of both Pit Entry and Exit marshals?*
  • What should Pit Entry Marshals do if people continue to frequent pit lane in an unsafe manner or infringe the rules?*
  • What should Pit Exit Marshals do if a rider/vehicle does not comply with safety regulations?*

  • The Chief Marshal co-ordinates the operation of flags and lights and will liaise with all Sector, track and recovery marshals as required .  The flags/lights used to control the race are as follows:

     

    General

    Flags and lights are a way of communicating with riders and should be used with this in mind.

    All Traffic Lights are equipped with a multi-position switch in order to control the lights.

    A track marshal should go immediately to yellow if there is an incident or dangerous situation. This should then be radioed to the Chief Marshal.

    Once the incident is clear the reporting marshal should turn off the yellow lights / flags and immediately advise the Chief Marshal.

    When marshals need to use flags, the flag must be waved at all oncoming traffic.

    It should be waved below waist height, so it is visible to riders.

    A Flag waved in a “figure 8” pattern will flow better and is less likely to tangle.

     A vigorously waved flag is also more visible to riders than a stationery flag.

     Where practical AND SAFE TO DO SO, flag marshals should move close to the edge of the track to ensure riders have optimal visibility of flags

    No Track or Recovery Marshals are permitted to call a Red Flag.

     

    Australian National Flag

    Start of competition. Start/Finish line only.

    Green Flag/Light

    • Conditions normal, race speed.
    • Waved at the next marshal points after an incident to indicate normal race conditions. You will be notified by the Chief or Sector Marshal.
    • Once the incident is cleared, the green flag shall be returned to flag bucket, or the light turned off. You will be notified by the Chief or Sector Marshal.

    Black flag

    • A Black flag incident will be communicated to Team Manager directly via mobile and/or in-person attendance at the team pit by event organisers.
    • Penalties will be determined solely at the discretion of the Race Director/Cheif Marshal, based on the nature, intent and seriousness of the incident.
    • A Black Flag and associated race no. will not be used unless all other forms of communication to the team/rider have been exhusted

    Yellow Flag/Light

    • This is the signal indicating there is danger or a hazard on the track ahead.
    • Track Marshal’s must go immediately to Yellow when an incident occurs, then advise Race Control via radio.
    • All riders should stop/slow their pedalling, exercise caution, and be prepared to take evasive action or stop (This is a rider acting under "Yellow Conditions").
    • Riders causing incidents to vehicles or marshals under yellow conditions may be penalised (Chief Marshal or Sector Marshal to provide absolute adjudication)
    • Riders are under yellow condition until the track is clear or a green flag/light is visible.
    • Yellow Lights/Flags will be utilised around the full circuit in the event of a rolling lap, or during a start from pit lane if required after a red flag.
    • To build rider confidence in signals and create a culture of compliance, during racing, Marshals must never show a yellow signal to any rider if there is no hazard.

    Yellow & Red Flags/Lights - HAZARD

    • Yellow and Red Flags waved simultaneously (Yellow/red lights flash alternately) indicate there is a serious incident ahead or multiple vehicles involved in an accident. This indicates a dangerous HAZARD ahead which must be avoided.

    • Track or Sector Marshals SHALL report any such incidents to Race Control for assessment and/or issuing of penalties.

    Red Flag/Light

    Note: once a RED flag is called, the timing system is paused, so NO advantage is gained by striving to cross the Start/Finish line.

    • Riders should be instructed to STOP IMMEDIATELY AS NEAR AS PRACTICABLE TO THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE TRACK.
    • Marshals should enter the track when and where safe to do so and wave the Red Flag vigorously at riders, indicate to pull over, and ensure all vehicles stop immediately.
    • Marshals shall record race number of any vehicles failing to comply and report them to the Chief Marshal when practical.
    • If red flag condition continues for an extended period, the Chief Marshal may advise you to direct vehicles to return to their pit (or the nearest pit if short duration).
    • When directed to move, vehicles should be instructed to return to their pit in single file. NO OVERTAKING PERMITTED.
    • After a red flag, restart will proceed either from the vehicle's location on the track, or from Pit lane. Vehicles will exit pit lane/move around the track under yellow conditions, until the track goes green. NO RACING is permitted until green flags and lights are indicated.

    Red & Blue Lights – 24-hour event only

    • Indicates there is an Emergency vehicle about to cross the track and will be shown at, and prior to, the designated crossing point.
    • Riders need to be made aware of these occurrences and Marshals should ensure vehicles proceed with caution.

    • Cutting off is prohibited.
    • Any vehicle coming into contact with a marshal may incur a severe penalty unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Race Director that the incident was unavoidable.
    • Contact occurring under yellow flag/light conditions may attract penalties depending on the severity and intent of the riders' actions.
    • Track/Sector marshals should report indiscretions to the Chief Marshal or Race Director via the radio.

     

    Pit Lane Safety

    • Pit Lane Speed limits varies at different circuits, please refer to the event manuals
    • Only in an extenuating circumstance should a vehicle enter pit lane other than via the pit entry.
    • Vehicles must stop by using their brakes only without assistance from pit crew.

    • If a vehicle does not comply with safety requirements the pit exit marshal will hold the vehicle at pit exit until the defects are remedied.

     

    Rider Safety

    Harness

    • Riders must be wearing the harness which must at all times be properly fastened around waist and adjusted at the shoulders.

    Helmets

    • Riders must wear an approved bicycle helmet properly adjusted and fastened while riding a vehicle anywhere on the circuit including pit lane.

       

    A bicycle helmet must comply with any one of the 6 following standards:

    • Australian New Zealand standard AS/NZS 2063:2020 
    • Australian New Zealand standard AS/NZS 2063:2008
    • European standard EN 1078:2012+A1:2012 Helmets for pedal cyclists and for users of skateboards and roller skates.
    • US Consumer Product Safety Commission standard US CPSC 16 C.F.R. Part 1203 Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets.
    • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International standard F1447-18 Standard Specification for Helmets Used in Recreational Bicycling or Roller Skating.
    • Snell standard B-95 1995 Bicycle Helmet Standard, 1998 revision, Standard for Protective Headgear for Use in Bicycling.

    Safety Glasses

    • Riders of open canopy vehicles must wear safety glasses that meet or exceed AS/NZS1337.1:2010 safety standards at all times while riding.
    • Prescription glasses do not meet this standard and must have a set of approved glasses over the top if required to be worn. Tinted lenses are not to be used during the designated lighting up period.
    • Where a fully enclosed vehicle is no longer deemed to be fully enclosed, they are required to meet the same requirements as an open canopy vehicle.

  • What is the requirement for a rear light on a vehicle?*
  • What should a vehicle do before exiting the pit lane?*
  • What should riders wear while riding?*

  • Radio Communication

  • Marshals will be equipped with radios to communicate with Race Control.

    The “Race Channel” is dedicated exclusively for race control.

    Radios will be equipped with a “coily cord” speaker/ microphone for ease of use.

    The radio can be clipped to a belt or tucked inside a jacket, with just the remote speaker/microphone required for correct operation.  Speaker level is adjusted by the volume knob on the radio.

    When you need to contact Race Control (Chief Marshal ), listen to ensure nobody else is talking, simply press the PTT button on the side of the remote speaker/microphone (not on the Radio), wait for the “beep” (1 sec) and then talk naturally.

    If you press the button and immediately a long “beep” is heard, another user is already on channel, release the button, wait for the current call to clear and repeat any message.

    Hold the microphone close to your mouth, and speak clearly, at a normal level.  Do Not shout as this only distorts the message.

    Keep all radio messages clear and concise to minimise airtime, i.e. “Marshal 7, Rollover, going Yellow”

    Release the button and await a response from Race Control. Race control will ask for further details or clarification if required.

    Because it is a licensed, dedicated radio channel, it is NOT necessary to say “Over” or “Out” at the end of radio conversations.

    However, it is a Public Licensed radio channel which can be monitored by the AMCA at any time, and consideration should be made to moderate your language as such.

  • Incident Reporting

  • Teams who are found to be in breach of any of the Series rules risk penalty.

    If any team behaviour is deemed not to be in the spirit or best interests of the event, penalties may be imposed on the team and/or individual.

    If a marshal considers an offence against the competition rules has occurred and regards it as intentional,  details of the incident should be reported by radio to the Chief Marshal giving:

    • Marshal point number
    • Vehicle Number/s
    • Brief incident details
    • Independent Witnesses (if any)
      • Note that Track/Sector Marshals cannot impose penalties.
    • If a person/team approaches you as a Marshal about an incident direct them to the protest notification form in the relevant event manual avaliable on the website.

    The Chief Marshal in conjunction with the Race Director will receive and investigate reports of poor riding behaviours for consideration of penalty. The Race Director may seek further information from the reporting marshal in order to fully investigate such reports.

    The Race Director has the absolute discretion to impose penalties for any conduct that is considered not to be in the spirit of the event or seen as bringing the event into disrepute.

    Decisions of the Race Director will be final and the relevant team managers will be informed of any penalties imposed.

  • Roll Over and Incident Management

    Through the following 4 sections we will look at how to correctly manage vehicle roll-over and various incidents.

  • 1. Immediate Action
    If one or more vehicle/s are involved in a roll-over, crash or other incident the priority is:

    • Immediately go to Yellow flags and/or lights and advise Race Control.
    • Track Marshal is to remain at station to warn other riders of danger and to slow down
    • Second person and/or recovery marshal to attend to the rider/s vehicle/s immediately
    • Once under yellow flag conditions, enter the track, but ONLY WHEN SAFE TO DO SO
    • AT NO POINT SHOULD YOUR BACK BE TURNED TO APPROACHING VEHICLES
    • Before moving a vehicle, that has been involved in a racing incident (Roll-over/Crash) you MUST make audible communications with the rider,
      • e.g. “ARE YOU OK?”
      • An affirmative response MUST be heard before moving the vehicle

     

  • What is the first priority when one or more vehicles are involved in a roll-over, crash, or other incident?*
  • What is the procedure before moving a vehicle that has been involved in a racing incident?*

  • 2. Verbal Response (OK) Received

    If the rider responds with an acknowledgement, you must determine if the rider is OK before moving the vehicle:

    • If rider is OK, when possible and practical, right the vehicle on to its wheels and move it to side of the track out of the hazard area.
      • If the vehicle/rider/marshal are outside of the hazard area the yellow light/flag can finish. Notify the chief marshal accordingy.
    • Do not move vehicles into the path of oncoming traffic.
    • Confirm the rider is OK and establish the status of the vehicle.
    • If the vehicle is damaged, then advise race control who will organise team staff or a recovery team to assist.
    • If the vehicle is repairable, assist in making the vehicle serviceable.Ensure the rider has their seat belt correctly fitted, and instruct them as required
      • Communicate with the rider at all times, and only proceed if an affirmative response is given
    • If the vehicle is safe and the rider okay, advise them you will re-enter them on to the track.

    Once a vehicle is back on its wheels and on its way, you must immediately return to a safe position. Advise the Chief Marshal accordingly.

  • Which two of the following should be done before moving a damaged vehicle that has been involved in an incident?

  • 3. Verbal Response (NOT OK) Received

    If the rider responds they are NOT OK, immediately go to HAZARD (Red/Yellow flags & Lights).

    Establish the nature of the injury and/or illness, and whether the vehicle can be moved.

    • DO NOT move the vehicle if the rider is in discomfort or has sustained injury.
    • Take steps to protect the vehicle if necessary (i.e. barriers, cones, haybales, etc.)
      • If the vehicle can be moved and this has been communicated with the rider, carefully move the vehicle onto its wheels and move it to the edge of the track out of potential hazard areas. 
    • Advise Race Control of the situation via the radio, and request FIRST AID assistance if required.
    • If the injury is serious, Call for Emergency Response(ER) and/or Race Director (RD), and First Aid (FA) to attend ASAP.
    • IN ALL CASES, provide Race Control the following details:
      • Location of person and/or vehicle
      • Type of injury (if known)
      • Person’s state of consciousness
      • Accident details
      • Vehicle Number/Name
      • Any other details
    • If a Sector Marshal is within your area, they SHALL take control until ER and/or RD & FA arrive
    • Track marshals with Flags are to move to the edge of the track to ensure ALL riders see the flags and respond accordingly.
    • Record race numbers of vehicles that DO NOT respond appropriately, to be reported at the cessation of the incident.
  • What should you do if the rider responds they are NOT OK?*

  • 4. Verbal Response NOT Received

    If No Response, or inaudible or confused responses are received from the rider:

    • Immediately go to HAZARD (Yellow & Red flags and/or lights) and advise Race Control.
    • DO NOT move the vehicle, and where possible take steps to protect the vehicle (i.e. barriers, cones, haybales, etc.)
