The 2015 champion will be presented with the trophy following the race. Previously a stand-alone cross country meet, the Fox-Fogarty Memorial now continues as a perpetual trophy incorporated into the Queensland 8km Open Men Championship to ensure this cross country tradition continues for many years to come. Fox-Fogarty Memorial History: The first ‘Jack Fogarty Memorial’ was conducted at Rocklea on Saturday 28th May 1939 to perpetuate the memory of a prominent Rocklea Harrier, Jack Fogarty, who was accidentally killed a few months earlier. This event has been held annually since, with members of his family in attendance. In more recent years, the Fox name was added to the memorial event following the passing of Mr Doug Fox, an official and Life Member of Queensland Athletic Association. His son Cec Fox and his family have proudly supported and sponsored the Fox-Fogarty Memorial for many years to this day. COMPETITION DETAILS & RULES Age Groups Athletes are permitted to compete in a higher age group where appropriate. Age groups are determined by the athlete’s age as at 31 December 2015 (i.e. year born), except for Masters. This is different to how age groups are calculated for Little Athletics. Year born is included in the program above as a guide. Masters ages are taken to be as on the day of the competition. All races and results are conducted as separate male or female events with concurrent start times. The ‘Open’ age group is open to all ages as appropriate. A non-championship Open Fun Run has been included for open age athletes that would like to run a shorter distance. Where multiple age groups compete together at the same time, athletes are only recognised in the results for the age group they specifically entered. Club Team Medals Junior Races (U8 – U12) QA medals will be awarded to the first three individual male and female place getters in each of these age groups. QA medals will also be awarded to the first three placed club teams in each age group. Medals will be presented as soon as possible following the conclusion of each race. State Championships (U14 - Masters) The program incorporates the Queensland ‘Medium Course’ Championships for the U14-U20, Open and Masters age groups. The distances selected are shorter than the standard cross country championship distances for each age group (but longer than ‘Short Course Championships’). Queensland Championship medals will be awarded to the first three individual male and female place getters in each of these age groups. Individual medals for the Masters age group are awarded in 10-year age groups: 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, and 65+ only. All ages are automatically eligible for the Open Championships in addition to their own age group if competing in the same race. Queensland Championship medals will also be awarded to the first three placed QA club teams in each age group. Medals will be presented as soon as possible following the conclusion of each race. A team consists of three runners who are all; - the same gender - entered into the same age group - members of the same club (QA or Little A’s) Athletes must indicate on their entry form the full name of the QA/Little A’s club they will be representing. Athletes are automatically placed in teams according to their club and their finishing order. If there are more than three runners in an age group from a club, then the first three runners from the club to finish will constitute the first team and the second three runners from that club to finish shall be deemed to be the second team and so on. Athletes are only eligible for team medals in the age group they specifically entered. Team medals for the Masters age group are awarded in 35-54 years and 55+ years categories only
