Newcastle turned on superb weather and a brilliant new map in hosting the 2013 state champs at the weekend.
Blue Gum Hills Regional Park, just off the freeway at Minmi, proved a fantastic new venue for the Middle Distance titles on Saturday, while Astley's Tower East at Kitchener also fully tested entrants in the Long Distance event on Sunday.
The double header attracted entrants from the ACT, Queensland, Victoria and even a couple from Western Australia.
Results/splits/Routegadget from Middle (Sat) are here and from Long (Sun) are here.
Russell Rigby took some great photos on both days, and there are more from Saturday on our Facebook page.
The remaining State League event for 2013 is the NSW Sprint Champs on a new urban map at Pyrmont, just a stone's throw from the Sydney CBD, on Sunday October 13. The champs are the day after the annual Big Foot Sprints at Sydney Uni. Entries for both close Oct 7. Download the flyer.
