Update - 1/6/09 PDF Print E-mail
Hello Painathletes and all those interested,
 
Excited to announce that Painathlon 2009 for Variety WA is on for Saturday August 8th and an entry form is available to download at
 
www.painathlon.com/entryform
 
This email goes out to all previous Painathletes aswell as all those who have indicated their interest but not yet made it to the start line.
 
IMPORTANT**  There is an early bird entry fee for all those who enter and pay before June 15th.  We realise this is only 2 weeks away but around that time the racetop order has to be in and we want at least an indication of entry numbers.
 
Changes this year include
 

  • The new challenge No. 7 is the 'Zig Zag run' in Gooseberry Hill, as voted by you on www.painathlon.com
    • Nicely splits up the bike leg between The Truth and Quadcruncher
    • Quadcruncher and Valley Runs will combine to be Challenge No. 8 (they really were one run already!)
  • Pairs and Threes Team categories.  Everyone cycles but the run challenges can be split up as the team chooses.
  • Half-Painathlon (individual only).  Challenges 1-5 plus Jacobs Ladder finish with a 2pm cutoff time.
  • New payment options
 
No online registration as yet so, as with previous year, either:
 
The website menu's have been rearranged somewhat to declutter it, so I hope you'll find it easier to navigate.
Updating is a continuing process but we're getting close.  Questions can be directed to us at this email.
 
Having tripled the competitors from 2007 (19) to 2008 (56), I hope the word will continue to spread and we'll again have a larger field.
 
Further updates will follow including notice of the traditional lead up familiariser runs.
 
Again, please enter soon if possible.  We look forward to the first entries coming in!!
 
cheers
