Bibs: In the 2024/25 season, there will be no cloth bibs issued. We are committed to reducing our footprint on the environments we use. Your new timing bibs are now made from hardier material, designed to last the whole season – use them for both XCR and track! So please ensure you care for your bibs, e.g. do not machine wash, do not fold. Lost or damaged bibs will incur a new bib fee.
*All athletes are required to wear two Athletics Victoria competition bibs; one with an affixed timing chip must be pinned to the front of the athlete’s competition uniform, the other to the back.
Teams are expected to return all relay bibs and electronic timing tags upon conclusion of their race. Please note that an $80 replacement fee will be invoiced to the club for any electronic timing tags not returned.
ProFeet Podiatry Onsite
Podiatrists from ProFeet Podiatry will be on hand at Jells Park this Saturday to address any pre or post race concerns. They will offer free assessment and treatment of any lower limb issues, along with strapping and footwear information.
Chris and Jonny from ProFeet will be with us at Jells; please feel free to visit them at the ProFeet Podiatry marquee.
As we move toward a more electronic way of staging XCR relay events, the burden on officials and clubs will begin to decrease. For this meet, clubs will be required to supply helpers as per the club duty roster, however will no longer need to provide timekeepers for each team. Nevertheless, we will require some additional assistance to cover gaps on the day.
Team managers are now required to complete the team sheet online via ResultsHub. Clubs are encouraged to submit this prior to completion of competition to allow the timely presentation of medals and publication of results. Teams that have not submitted their athletes will not score points until these have been submitted. If unable to submit via ResultsHub, printed team sheets will be provided to be completed on the day.
