Dear Members
We live in challenging times and it’s difficult to make plans with certainty. So this email is to let you know that we have to make some changes to our events calendar over the remainder of the year. There are some events that will no longer occur - but also some new events added and other possibilities also are now open.
The following events have been removed from the calendar:

Happy New Year to everyone from all of us on the Alice Springs Running and Walking Club Committee
We hope you have all had a fantastic break, either interstate or enjoying the amazing weather that has been in Alice Springs this holiday period.
You may have already heard that our committee has decided to cancel this year’s Australia Day Fun Run due to many concerns on returning travellers from interstate and the risk still involved with Covid-19.
So we have decided to launch our 2021 season on Saturday the 13th of February at 0700 with a 5k event around the river path starting opposite the casino. The idea is for the event to be more about fun and appealing to everyone rather than competition. So we have decided to make it a Time Tease event. You predict your finishing time and the winner will be the person closest to their predicted time. Gift vouchers will be awarded to the 3 people closest to their predicted time.
It’s a fantastic way to ease into the New Year. So everyone is invited to just come along and celebrate a new year with a fun enjoyable non timed event and to release our new calendar for 2021.
Entry will be $5 for everyone which will be given back to you with a free coffee from the coffee van! Also a breakfast will be provided consistent with our Covid guidelines.
Juniors will be free!
Membership for the 2021 season is now open, and our membership fees have risen by $10 for both adults and juniors due to NT Athletics raising their member affiliation fee this year to allow for increasing insurance costs.

Unfortunately this season we are unable to offer family membership because of changes with the NT Athletics membership categories. ASRWC has long supported families with subsidised memberships. To continue this practice, the committee has decided to support families who register with a $30 gift voucher from Intersport. A family must consist of at least one adult member and a minimum of two juniors. In this way we hope to keep families on board and the little ones running as families are a very important part of our club.
We are all looking forward to seeing everyone in 2021 and the committee has been hard at work planning an amazing calendar of events which we can’t wait to release on Saturday 13th February at the Todd River 5km Time Tease at 0700.
Until then take care and happy running and walking.
Happy new 2021 season
Club President
Chris Turner.
