South Australian Masters Athletics has again been invited by the South Australian Athletic League to stage a distance handicapped 800m on 27 December 2023 as part of the Bay Sheffield Carnival at Colley Reserve, Glenelg, which runs from 27-28 December 2023.
The Exurbia SA Masters 800m handicap race will again feature on day one and is programmed to be run at 7.00pm. The presentations to place getters will follow the race.
The race is open to all SAMA members and the final list of entries and handicaps must be lodged with the organisers by Wednesday 13 December.
There is no entry fee, but participation is restricted to financial members of SA Masters Athletics. Racing colours will be provided to runners prior to the race. It is suggested that runners wear their SAMA singlets.
This SAMA event is coordinated and distance-handicapped by Viddy Jermacans.
Runners wishing to enter the race need to advise Viddy Jermacans by email or phone or text 0407 188721 by Monday 11 December so that handicaps can be calculated and final documentation prepared for entry.
