Spiny Cray Pub Shout!

SPINY CRAY – ENTRIES ONLINE ONLY

Trail runners keen to get high (altitudinally) at the 2^nd running of the Spiny Cray have until Friday, 23^rd September (5:00pm) to enter. No entries will be accepted on the day (Sunday, 25^th September) but entering now is cheap, quick and painless – start by clicking here!

Important Participant info will be sent to all registered runners prior to the event i.e. this friday.

PUB SHOUT!

Antony and Rebecca at the Highlander Tavern have welcomed the trail running crowd back and have kindly offered to shout finishers of the Half and Ultra events. Those hardy enough to complete either of the two longer events will be rewarded not just with their own personal sense of satisfaction, but with a pot of beer (or softdrink if preferred or legally restricted) along with two free issues of Runners World (for finishers of all events). Runners World (International running magazine and website) have also offered to support the event and will publish a Spiny Cray article in an upcoming issue. They are also giving away two 5 issue subscriptions as random draws. Throw in a shot at some other groovy random draws, the chance to carve your name on the fancy new perpetual trophy and all the usual fun of a trail run in the tropics, for just $10, its gotta be the best value run around!

THE SPINY CRAY WEEKENDER

Runners in the Ultra and Half events can register (from 5pm) and be briefed (at 5:30pm) on Saturday afternoon (preferred rego and briefing for ultra runners). You may need to organise some accommodation now – Kingfisher Park (40 941263) is a short warm up run from the start line and still has some cabins available with camping also. The Julatten Tableland Caravan Park (40 941145) also has cheap camping still available ($7pp), is 5 minutes down the road and has offered late check out if you need to leave your tent up til after you finish. The Julatten Birdlovers is booked out but some other options are linked to the website.

VOLUNTEERS

If you know anyone keen to be a part of the Spiny Cray but not up for a run, they may very well be able to help us out. We are chasing a couple more lovely volunteers and would love to line up a couple for suitable roles asap. Give Shane a ring on 0438 758 862 or email shane@adventuresportnq.info .
