GENERAL – ALL EVENTS

After a cross check is made of race entries with the AT data base, a copy of all entries in the Tasmanian Championships in each event will be sent to Clubs for checking against known entries. This will occur sometime on the Friday evening.

Please therefore ensure all athletes who are taking part in the Launceston Running Festival who wish to be considered for the Tasmanian Championships and who were not currently registered for 2022-23 are registered with AT before noon on Friday 9 June.

Finally to be clear – any athlete who wishes to “enter” the 2023 Tasmanian Road Running Championships should enter the relevant event distance in the Launceston Running Festival and pay the applicable entry fee. There is no additional fee to be considered for the Tasmanian Championship.
