Troop Events and Management (TEAM) are pleased to announce the return of the Colac 6 day Ultra marathon race on Monday November 3rd to Sunday November 9th, 2008.
The event will be reinvigorated to incorporate a week of activities on each day to coincide with one of Australia’s most prestigious races. The week will be known as the “Cliff Young Festival of Sport Week”.
Like all new business ventures changes need to be made to make the event more attractive and marketable with current times but also needs to be mindful of the history and tradition that is carries.
The only major change to the 2008 event will be the change of venue from Memorial Square to South Colac Football Ground. The logistics and impact on memorial square have made it impossible to take the event forward.
While planning is underway and full details are not yet available, runners are to be assured that preparations for next year’s event can start now with full confidence in knowing that unlike 2006 and 2007, the event will go ahead in 2008.
Pictures of the ground (once confirmed) and an itinerary of events planned, will be forwarded to you in the next couple of months. It is hoped entry forms will be available on line from the start of next year from our webpage which is currently being constructed.
I hope you will join us in what will be an exciting venture for the newly revamped Colac 6 Day Race. Any concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Yours in Sport,
Lee Troop
