The next Australian Centurions 24 Hour Walk will be
held in conjunction with the Coburg 24 Hour event on 19-20 April
2008. But that's only part of the equation. The big news
is that
the Coburg 24 Hour Carnival has been extended from 2 days to 3 days.
The traditional ultra distances of 12 Hours and 24 Hours will still be
held at our traditional mid April date but the 6 Hour event will now
stand alone in its own right as a separate Ultra event on Sunday 30th
March.
What better way to prepare for the 12 Hour or 24 Hour endurance event
than to test yourself out 3 weeks before with a 6 Hour hit-out! With
this in mind, a discount is being offered for any competitors who
choose to enter both the 6 Hour and the 12 or 24 Hour event. Apart from
that, our entry prices remain unchanged from last year and are as
follows:
ENTRY PRICES :
The 24 Hour Walk event includes Racewalking Australia 100 km Walk Championships for men and women. This event is run under the auspices of the Australian Federation of Race Walking Clubs. The event is judged according to Centurion rules rather than the stricter racewalking rules.
How do I enter the 100 km Australian Walk
Championship?
This event is available for any walkers who enter
the 24 Hour event. This is because it is envisaged that
most
walkers will take longer than 12 hours to complete 100 km of walking
and
hence the 24 Hour event is the most appropriate for them to enter.
