Lorne Mountain to Surf
When:
4th January 2008
Where: Lorne
The NIB Lorne Mountain to Surf Run is a family oriented run open to entrants of all ages. Starting in William Street the course winds into the hills behind Lorne and then through the forest along the river's edge before returning to Lorne along the Great Ocean Rd. A fit runner can expect to complete the race in approximately 30-40 minutes. The race route is hilly but can be comfortably jogged in about 40-50 minutes by a fit jogger.

NEW FOR THE 2008 EVENT


Swimmer and runner accounts will be set up for each competitor. This will allow you to log on and register for both NIB Lorne Pier to Pub and NIB Lorne Mountain to Surf. It will let you do things like change your address and contact details, and to see your race history back to 2000.

For the 2008 swim and run we are introducing a two tier system for entries. People who are shark bait and double shark bait members will get longer to enter the event. At this stage we are planning on opening the swim and run for shark bait entries on the 25th of October and for general entries on the 1st of November. The clubs website www.lornesurfclub.com.au has more details on accounts, opening times and will be updated regularly with this information.

We are creating accounts for all existing swimmers and runners, the details of these will be emailed to you later in the year. When you receive your account details via email the email will tell you which category you are in (General Competitor or Shark bait). The swim sells out very quickly, last year it sold out in four days, which makes it very hard to ensure that postal entries can be accepted. Accordingly we have stopped accepting postal entries, for both the swim and the run.

NIB Lorne Mountain to Surf is changing to online entry only, on the day entries will not be available in 2008. We encourage you to go online to register for the Mountain to Surf and to tell all your running friends. Both events had timing issues, one of the issues identified as a contributor is on the day entries complicates producing accurate timely results.
