Australian championships organisers are expecting more than 1,000 entries for the coming carnival in Ballarat.
When entries closed last week there were 954 registered participants across the 9 days. Add in a few dozen enter-on-day folk and 50-60 kids doing string courses and the four-figure mark should be topped quite easily.
For casual visitors who fancy a run, organisers have also clarified the enter-on-day availability via their updated web page.
If you are going to Ballarat, and to keep those at home informed of progress of NSW athletes, we'd like to hear from you. All we need is 6 paragraphs about the courses, terrain, weather, good results and any oddities encountered (we're always on the lookout for wombie nominations, too). Email Ian Jessup (marketing at onsw.asn.au) if you'd like to contribute and we'll draw up a roster.
The NSW relay teams have also been announced.
