Lamington Classic - 25,26 Oct 2008
Update: Entries closed Friday 26 Sept as we reached our 50 limit, but…
We are keeping a waitlist (see below, after confirmed entries) - inevitably a few drop out due to injury, however it looks likely that the best option will be to run the Sunday leg only; you could still join the whole weekend though, doing a nice day run from Binna Burra Saturday, and BB-O’Reillys Sunday. We will advise final options two weeks out from the event.
To join the waitlist, email Digger at extra@ausgeo.net
About the Lamington Classic
Each year I’m amazed how many people talk about wanting to run at Lamington, but can’t organise a weekend off! Forget the chores and enjoy the whole experience with a week-end on the best trails in South-East Queensland. Leave early Friday, try the excellent pizzas at Beechmont on the way up, swap stories round the fire at night - now that’s how to spend a Friday…
You get two brilliant runs (21.8k each way), your breakfasts and lunches for $45, a meal/prizegiving at Binna Burra’s new cafe on Saturday night for $25, and two nights accommodation in the Eco-lodge bunkhouse for $40.
Bunkhouse rooms take up to 6 and generally aren’t full, so if you organise a group you can snaffle a room just for you and yours friends. Or book your own accommodation choice at Binna Burra, from camping to luxury cabins-with-a-view.
We also encourage clubs and friends to organise a team of three; the team competition has a long history - this is the 37th year of the Lamington Classic! - and it adds to the fun for you.
Details are in the entry form here here (but don’t post any more in we’re full; see above), online entry is closed, and here is a report from January’s Lamington Trails Weekend to fire you up.
