Leukaemia Foundation’s Sunflower Club –
Speedo Dash
30 Jun 13

SpeedoDash_133x200The Leukaemia Foundation’s newest campaign is the Sunflower Club, which is being held in the month of June.

One of the events of the campaign is the Speedo Dash which is a short and fun ‘dash’ with a difference, which may interest some of our braver members. Please go to the Sunflower Speedo Dash web page for details.

Everyone that participates gets sponsored to dash down the street wearing sunflowers and a smile. It’s a challenge to brave the winter weather and raise money to bring sunshine to support people with blood cancer in regional Australia.

The Victorian event is taking place on June 30, 11am-1:30pm, starting at Queens Bridge Square, Southbank.

Entry for 10,000m Track Championship

We are trialling on-line entries for the VMA 10,000m Track Championship to be run on 14 May 13, both to prove the process and to determine if there is sufficient demand to warrant creating and maintaining the additional functionality for future events.

For the time being, for most VMA-only events, payments will still be taken on the day.

Try out the online 10k Track entry form – just don’t click the ‘Submit’ button if you don’t want to run 10k! Please be patient as the form is temporarily hosted on a separate server.

Entries closed on 7th May 2013

New! – updated 8:00pm, 8 May 13 –  List of Entrants, by Division [note your start time], as at 8:00pm 8 May 2013

Reminder!  Please arrange to have a lap scorer available at the finish line 15 minutes prior to the start of your event.
