Coastal Track and Trail Runners are affiliated with Athletics NSW again.
We are not a traditional club, we are a Specialist Member Organisation affiliated with Athletics NSW. We sit in Athletics NSW as a Recreational Run Group. What this means for renewing members/crew of CTTR and new CTTR members/crew is, that you now will have National Insurance Coverage - Personal Accident and Injury Insurance to cover any out of pocket medical expenses associated with any injury sustained whilst training or competing under the Athletic NSW National Insurance Plan. (conditions apply, ring ANSW for a product disclosure statement).
You will still get all the perks from before. Renewing members will know what these perks are. Also they can be found on the 'ABOUT US' page on our Athletics page and our website https://www.coastaltrackandtrailrunners.com.au/
I need to let you know that a few things have changed since last season.
-
1. Last year they announced that they were not running the traditional seasons anymore and you got 12 months membership from the date you joined up. This has changed due to the merger between Athletics Australia and Little A's Australia. This means that they are running seasons again, as that's how Little A's do it.
-
So that means anyone that joined from 1st October 2023 to 10th May 2024 will still uphold their membership until those date expiry. Athletic NSW have told us from the 11th May 2024 until the 31st July 2024, you will need to rejoin the New Season starting 1st August 2024. The new season is now from 1st August instead on 1st October each year.
-
Sum it up, either you join up now from the 1st August 2024 or from when you joined last year/this year, you will still be paying $45 to join. For Mat and I to do the paperwork side and to manage the Facebook Closed Page, where all the training is and to stop us reminding you and Athletics NSW from sending you emails, we would appreciate it if you all rejoin from 1st August 2024. This will make running CTTR much easier and let us then focus on training you and organising events for you to race and volunteer at.
-
2. Due to the merger, we can only have adults as Community Members now from 18+ (children have to be a member of a Junior Athletics Club. As we are classed as a Recreational Run Group, NO juniors at this stage are able to join a Recreational Run Group. Must be 18+).
With that news out of the way, let's tell you about CTTR:
You will see we have a number of coaches which you can utilize while a member of CTTR. We are here to help you improve your running. CTTR is mostly about track and trails but we still all run paths and tar to train and race. So if you are looking for a crew/group of awesome people who love hanging out to train, race, volunteer and just love hanging in nature and a having a good banter together running/ walking, then CTTR is the crew for you. We are a trail family.
Athletics NSW season 2024-2025 is open on 1st August to NEW MEMBERS wanting to join CTTR and RENEWING MEMBER. We have lots of awesome things still going to happen in 2024 and exciting things in 2025. We would love for you all to be apart of our CTTR family.
