Cross Country Championships
Because we are combining with ACT Athletics, there is some confusion about entry procedure. For Veterans running the 8k or the 12k, you can simply turn up and enter on the day, entry closes one hour before the race.

Club member collapses and dies at BBQ Stakes
I was at the BBQ Stakes 6k yesterday and jogged around in just under 41 minutes. I didn't know that just behind me, John Carmody had collapsed at about the 3k mark and a group of runners were attempting to revive him. Doug Fry has a report at http://tuckerbox.blogspot.com/2007/07/bbq-stakes-runners-shattered-by-sad.html. Our thoughts go out to John's wife Julie, their relatives, and their many friends. On hand and able to help were Lloyd, John H, Kent, Rosemary, Roger, and others; spare them a thought as well, many of the runners were shaken by the experience.
