A track race has been organised in WA at the Ern Clark Athletics Center on Sunday 28th Feb.
DETAILS:
Events: 3hr/6hr/12hr track races
Date: 28th Feb 2010 (Labour Day Long W/E)
Venue: Ern Clark Athletics Center, Wharf St Cannington (400mtr track)
Start Times: 12hr - 9am, 6hr - 3pm, 3hr - 6pm
Finish: All events will finish at 9pm
Entry Fees: 12hr - $60, 6hr - $40, 3hr - $30 (Payable on the day or PM me for direct deposit info)
For those not familiar with track races, basically it is a time-limited race rather than a distance-limited race. In other words you stop running after 3/6/12hrs with the aim of pushing yourself to cover as much distance as possible in the time allowed. Water, endura and coke will be provided to all runners and a selection of snack food as well. Kitchen facilities are also available.
Runners will need to provide their own lap scorers who record each lap completed on the lap sheet provided.
Direction changes will occur every 3hrs from 9am with the initial 3hrs being run in an anti-clockwise direction. 3hr runners will not change direction.
Each competitor will be handed a small sand bag with 10 minutes to go and instructed to drop the bag immediately when the time is up. This allows accurate measurement to take place.
The race is sanctioned by the Australian Ultra Runners Association (AURA)
