Registration Closing Dates
Registrations by mail will be accepted as long as the registration is received at our office by close of business on Friday 4th of May.
If your registration is received online after 12 noon on Friday 4th of May, your Participants Information Kit will not be sent to you (as we cannot be sure it would arrive before the event). You will need to report to the Number Pick-up Marquee on event day to pick up your Participant Information Kit and race number.
You can register also in person on the day from 6.45am. Please be patient if you need to wait. Our staff are volunteers and are trying to help you as quickly as possible.
How To Register
Register via the website or use an entry form which is available from local running stores and fitness centres. On day registration will be available from 6.45am at Alexandra Gardens.
On day entries may receive a reduced showbag content and may not receive a medal.
Team Registration
In the interests of everyone’s safety, Mothers Day Classic participants will be asked to start in several waves according to your bib numbers, instead of starting in one large mass!
If you would like to be sure of starting in the same wave as your friends, why not nominate one of you to be a Team Co-ordinator and group yourself together in a team as you register.
Race Day Info Pack
A Participants Information Pack and your event bib will be mailed by 11th of May to all participants whose registration is received by Friday 4th of May 2007. You will also be able to download the Information Pack brochure here closer to the event.
If you register after the 4th of May, you will need to collect your event bib on the morning before your event at the Mothers Day Classic registration area.
