A limited selection of events are designated 'AUK National Events', to signify that they are known as well-organised and popular events which guarantee a great day out (weather permitting!).

Riders who complete National Series events of 100k**, 200k, 300k will be awarded a free Bronze Badge, those who in addition, ride the 400k will receive a Silver Badge, while those who complete a full National Series by also riding the AUK National Series 600 will receive a Gold Badge.
** NB, you can use any calendared 100 as part of your National Series.
