Ten days until the Vets 10k track
Six weeks until the Weston Creek Half Marathon
Eight weeks until the Vets 5k track championships
Ten weeks until the Canberra Running Festival. 

I have entered the running festival 50k and I have three questions. Only #2 is one of the "faq"'s on the website.
1. Can we see who has entered? The Running Festival website appears to have no "entrants" option.
2. Will there be pacers? The website reports that an announcement about marathon pacers will be made "soon"
3. Will we be timed from the start line? It seemed odd last year to have a timing chip but no mat across the start line. It meant that  only "gun time" was measured.
