Star Swamp – Sunday 10th May. Please note, the oval is closed for parking this year. Please utilise extra parking on North Beach Road adjacent to Charles Riley Reserve, and opposite the school and Curious Cow Coffee Stand.

Two of our signature events start this week – the annual road running and road walking championships. Each event consists of three distances; for running, 10k, 15k and 25k and for walking 5k, 10k and 15 k. The relevant dates are: 3 May for the 10k run and 5k walk, 17 May for the 15k…

A small but high quality group of members competed in this year’s event in perfect conditions at ECAC. Congratulations to Rodney Glossop who was in scintillating form to set a new PB and take out the trophy.

Do you need to smarten up your winter wardrobe? The MAWA uniform shop is now open! Options include track pants, long-sleeved t-shirts and hoodies.

Due to road works, the Bardon Bash distances have been adjusted from the original 13km run/walk to 10km and 7km options. There will be a single start at 8:00am, with no earlier 7:30am start, as the longer event distance is now 10km. There will be one water station at the 3.5km mark, which also serves as the turnaround point for the 7km route.…

Contractors will be re-marking the car park apparently starting at 5:30am. They have assured the Council that they will be finished and the car park usable by the time we arrive. However if that is not the case you will have to find an alternative. Certainly use Leisureplex, or maybe the school car park.

Thanks to Graeme Dahl for this booklet on the 2026 State Champs.
