Please complete the appropriate fields on the entry form

Shadowing: ‘Shadowing’ is permitted for entrants in the class M/W-10N for the two days. The adult doing the shadowing needs to nominate themselves for an early start on both days to enable them to finish their own course before shadowing a child. Shadowed runners may use a punch start so will not need to start at published start time.

Sportident

All of the events will use the Sportident (SI) electronic timing system.

Sportident sticks can be purchased through Wildfire Sports, http://www.wildfiresports.com.au/brand/sportident/

If you are purchasing a stick, you won’t know your SI number, so when you are required to input your number in registering for the events, just enter '000000'.

Alternatively you can hire a Sportident stick for $4. Please indicate on the form that you will require a hired stick. There is no need to enter an SI number when you are hiring a stick.
