Important: ACCEPTANCE RULE (Marshalling)
Athletes must report to the Stawell Athletic Club (SAC) marquee located near the circular finish line in front of the SAC pavilion at least 20 minutes prior to your event to accept your start in the event. This is to assist with scratchings and information being placed on the scoreboard during events. Failure to accept will automatically scratch you from the race. You will not be able to take your place at the start line. If you are in several events throughout the weekend you can accept for the first race and subsequent events at the same time.
