Byron Bay is in NSW and operates on 'daylight saving' (an hour before Qld). Program times are approximate. 

All athletes must report to the Call Room/Athlete 'check in' at least 15 minutes before the start of their race to receive their hip number (you must check in multiple times if entering multiple races). The call room will close 10mins before the scheduled start time of the event.

All races are timed finals, with perpetual trophies awarded to the fastest male and fastest female (eligible for perpetual trophy from any heat, note ANSW Herb Elliott trophy is for ANSW and LANSW club members only). Age category awards (juniors/opens/masters) will also be given if we have a minimum of 10 male and 10 female runners in each category (otherwise results will be aggregated across categories).

Trackside: Music, live race commentary, athlete interviews; food and drinks available for purchase

Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on (we do not have trackside seating).
