The organising team in Newcastle spent a long evening on Tuesday this week finalising their plans for the big Coalfield Classic events. Bulletins with more event details will be going up in the next couple of days and the start lists will be published on Monday. There's a great line-up of competitors with many of the 2012 JWOC team racing, as well as senior Australian Internationals including Rachel Effeney, Kathryn Ewels, Grace Crane, Simon Uppill and Rob Preston. There are a number of New Zealander elites also coming to try their luck and even some Finns. With over 300 runners pre-entered there will be plenty of competition to go around.
