Upcoming Cross Country Season

As many of you will already know we are about to have a Cross Country (albeit condensed). For these Cross Country Events to occur Queensland Athletics have had to make a number of changes to ensure we all meet our Covid 19 compliance requirements set down by the Outdoor Sports Industry Covid Safe Plan, These rules and practices are here so that we all stay safe and can continue with of athletic pursuits.

There are to be 4 races in the Brisbane series, 1 State XC Championships and 2 All-Schools Events, in total from August through to Early Mid-September. Yes, it is going to be crazy!

What you need to do, please check those items that apply to you or your family members;

• If you are already a QA member this season with Toowong Harriers and have competed, you will need to do nothing until the 19/20 season rolls over, on the 1st October 2020. You are ready to nominate for events.
• If you are already a QA member this season with Toowong Harriers and have Not competed, you must get a temporary bib sent out for the remaining events of the year. This can be done by logging in to QA and requesting a new bib, this must be done 7 days prior to the event, the link is . https://www.revolutionise.com.au/qldathletics/product/14521/

• If you are a current QA member, but un-affiliated with Toowong Harriers or another club, we can transfer you QA affiliation across to Toowong Harriers, this must be down prior to registering for events. Please email me President@toowongharriers.org.au with you QA/National Athletic ID.# and I will arrange a transfer.

If you are not a current member of QA but would like to join for the XC season, New members whom register for Base QA and Club membership for the shortened Winter XC season from July 2020, will benefit from their membership being carried through till the end of the 20/21 season. This 15 month special only applies to new base members only. The link is here. https://www.revolutionise.com.au/toowongharriers/registration/ For new and existing club members who chose to compete in both the Queensland Athletics (QA) and Little Athletics Queensland (LAQ) competitions for the club, you will only be charged one club membership fee ($35).

Once all these things are in order you can register for events on the QA, Competitions tab https://qldathletics.org.au/index.cfm/competition/. I will also update all of the events on the Revsport Club Pages.

Key requirements from the Covid Safe Plan for these events;

• All those attending, including spectators and parents and officials, must preregister for the event, preferably via the Queensland Athletics Revsport system.
• All competitors must be members of Queensland Athletics, this is required for insurance, so that we can provide a season bib* and to ensure all have agreed to share contact information. Base membership only costs $12.
• No entry on the day, * Queensland Athletics intends to provide members with a season bib, this will ensure no checking or bib pick up will be required at events

As Always If you have any problems or question please do not hesitate to give me a call.
