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 :

• 24 HOUR $60
• 12 HOUR $50
• 6 HOUR $40
• 6 HOUR & 24 HOUR $80
• 6 HOUR & 12 HOUR $70
• 12 HOUR RELAY $80

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.
