2014 WORLD MASTERS ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

Editorial
As I was away for 6 weeks turin in Italy, I was
unable to do an October edition of Footprints.
But genoa man must have holidays, even from retirement.
A great pizza news on our Lavinia Petrie. She
has won the IAAF Female Masters Athlete of the year
for 2014. This is no surprise as vino what a champion
she is. As I write, Lavinia is in Monaco for the Gala
presentation with her two daughters June and Julie.
I bet they had a great time siena up on stage with
all those celebrities. Of corsica, this award is richly
deserved.
Don’t forget to renew your membership
before 31/12/14 !! You cannoli get the discounted
price of $35 if you do. If you let the date get pasta
31 December, you will have to pay an extra $10. So
get domani to Astrid by then. You will find the 2015
Membership form on P.42 , or you can renew on-line
via the VMA website. Dont be latte !
Enough of the Italian puns ? OK.
We are presently reviewing our Run Safely
Tonight campaign, and we are pretty pleased.the
reaction from within the club and outside has been
great. We have got quite a few new members and
importantly, have got the VMA name out there, we
have made everybody aware that new members
are precious and we now know how to run a similar
promotion next year. Please don’t read anything into
the fact that I left the country before the campaign had ended. I did come back after all. Seriously, at this early stage I would like to run the same
campaign next winter. It appears that we can do it
just as well without the newspaper advertising. In
the meantime a project for all Venues would be to
maximise signage at their tracks. The Councils seem
to be very difficult about this but we need to chip
away. People need to know we are there.
In this issue we have the paper entry form for
AMA Championships to be held next Easter - April 3-6
- in Sydney. On-line bookings will open in December
on a link off the NSW Masters website. The Championships have reverted to Easter after this years trial
of another timeslot. I’ve told you I like having the
Champs at Easter, but obviously there are others who
don’t. If you like the status quo make sure you support this one. It will be a doozy !
I have also put in a flyer for our State Championships which are on March 14-15 at the newly renamed Tom Kelly Athletics Track in Doncaster. As was
the case last year, entries are on-line only through
the AV website. Once again, if registering on-line is a
problem for you get someone at your Venue to help
or contact Phil Urquhart 9572 0805 or me on 9870
8103. Phil and I live to serve you.
Four months worth of NAGS in this one. So
many that I couldn’t fit them on this page as usual.
Could I write less in my editorial to make room ?
Hello ???
I’ve been noticing the amount of work Paul
Durrant puts into our club, and how much he gets
out of it. His Venue is Knox, but he frequently attends four Venues - Doncaster, Knox, Croydon and
East Burwood. He is up to his ears in their Facebook
pages and as photography is an interest of his,
he puts up a lot of great photos and movies. I am
grateful that he took up RST so enthusiastically and
shares all relevant information on Social Media. It
would be good if we could clone him. Enthusiastic
people are like gold to a club like ours.
Yours Sicily

A Note from Doug Stokes Jenny Kisler was left off the list of members at
Aberfeldie who had completed a marathon, she
has in fact run 4 Melbourne Marathons.
Thanks Doug, Well done Jenny.
John Dean of Aberfeldie advises, you can buy
starting caps from Touch Down Sports - which
he thinks are in NSW, for $11.00/box of 100 plus
GST

Our best wishes to VMA/AMA stalwart Clyde Riddoch
who is recovering after a hip replacement. I saw
Clyde at AV the day before his operation. He was
busy flogging the old hip, getting every bit of use out
of it that he could.
CALL FOR OLD NATIONALS PHOTOS! The 2015 Nationals website is fast approaching going live, and one
part will be a Nostalgia Photo section, a collection
of old pics from past National Championships. If you
have any really old ones, we’d love to use them.
Please email your photos as jpeg files to :
[email protected]
You can also contact me if you have precious photos. I can scan them, take digital copies and get
them back to you in pristine condition - Russ
Ron Cracknell (or “Ruth”, as I like to call
him), is not only a Croydon VMA member,
who is passionate about running, but he is
also passionate about downhill skiing.
Since retiring in July 2012 and moving to live
permanently in Mansfield, Ron has had more
time for both pursuits.
At the Australian Masters Skiing Championships held in August at Perisher Resort, Ron
competed in the M65 Age group representing
Mt Buller and achieved Gold in Super G, Gold
in Giant Slalom and Bronze in Slalom.
The Super G course was on a run called
“Bloody Mary”. Giant Slalom and Slalom
were both held on “Mother in Law” run.
Both those names suggest one ought to exercise extreme care.

THE DOUG ORR 5k HANDICAP was held at East Burwood Venue on 9th October and the winning team
was Croydon with Andrew Egginton, Grant Murfett and Colin Page (pictured receiving the Shield from Peter
Dodshun and displaying a range of emotions). The individual honors went to Peter Thorne (Knox), David McConnell (Doncaster) and Grant Murfett (Croydon). Here they are lined up in reverse order.

Glen Eira Gossip
Four Venues have their own Facebook pages.
Of course we also have one for Vic Masters and
Run Safely Tonight.
This is a great way to
• share photos or movies of the nights action.
• Publish information like results, programs, or
last minute changes.
• And generally let people know what’s going
on.
I would recommend all of our Venues get a page,
it’s free, easy to do and encourages involvement
by all your people.
Anyone can post their news or questions.
“Glen Eira got this free publicity in the local Leader newspaper – if you’ve got something to say about
happenings at your venue just contact one of the journalists at you local Leader – anything a bit unusual
may get the journalist interested.”

Following on from the story in the last edition of Footprints, the Springvale venue held a birthday party on
July 30 to celebrate Jim Sinclair turning 90 on August 1. With a number of visitors from other venues and
the regular locals, we made sure Jim had a memorable night. I think the photo below suggests he enjoyed
himself. And what is more we managed to keep him out of the kitchen for the night though he was back in
charge the following week.
As part of the celebration the venue conducted a 90 metre handicap series (what other distance could you
use) over 3 heats in the preceding weeks with the final on the night of the party. Jim was the out marker,
which is fair enough considering his age and he managed to get to the line before anyone could catch him
thereby winning the trophy named in his honour. The wily old fox (as one of our members dubbed him a few
years ago) had managed to get under the handicapper’s guard again, but no-one complained this time.
Now that Jim has turned 90, our venue record keeper, Tony Johnson, has had to redo the record board as
there was no column for M90. Showing some foresight, Tony has also included a M95 column. Something for
Jim to look forward to. Since turning 90, Jim has run 19.8 sec for the 100 metres and 42.8 sec for the 200
metres. Pretty impressive times and comparable with the world records of 17.53 and 38.4 respectively.
In other news, our major events for the year have been run and won.
- the Ross Martin 3km was won by Lou Buccieri. Lou has been a regular placegetter in this event and the Eric
Greaves 5km in recent years so he was very happy to finally crack it for a victory.
- the Eric Greaves 5km was won by Howard Rees – his 4th victory in the event. It has been a few years since
his last victory as the handicapper has been keeping him honest.
- in the Bert Warburton 3km walk, Juan Perez was a popular winner. Juan took up walking 3 or 4 years ago
when an injury curtailed his running. These days he combines both disciplines.
When you read this it will be close to our Christmas break up. The question on everyone’s lips will be – who
will win the Doran medal?

FINAL BROWNE SHIELD RESULTS
As expected, Lavinia Petrie easily won the Women’s section and Knox won
the Venue Competition of the Browne Shield, but not without a scare as they did
not have any men finishers in the half marathon but were saved by Julie Norney. Otherwise there would have been 1 point in it.
Helen Stanley, also of Knox, came in second from Bronwen Cardy, but
Bronwen only competed in 3 events, still averaging over 93%. Not bad for someone
struggling with injuries.
In the Men’s section it ended up being a clear win to Ewen Wilson of Glen Eira which is his first
win in this competition. Finishing behind Ewen were Greg Moore (Aberfeldie) and Ron Scholes (Collingwood). Great to see Glenn Sullivan of our newest Venue - Casey - coming in in 5th place.
Once again the importance of completing every event is stressed, and the “sleeping giant” in the pack
is obviously Bendigo with Mike Bieleny, Peter Cowell , Trevor Kelly and Charles Chambers all capable
of mid 80%. Let’s hope they get a team up next year. Maybe they can talk Anne Buckley into running. I
believe Charles is struggling with an injury at the moment. Hope he gets back to his Hobart form soon.
Maybe Bendigo are the ones to rival Knox.

Did you know that Knox Venue periodically
runs a sausage sizzle stand at Bunnings in
their area ?
It’s a good fundraiser but takes a roster of
at least 12 people.
There is quite a wait to get in, but it’s
worth it.

The Half Marathon Championship was held in conjunction with Athletics Victoria on the flat fast

AV clubs.
Melbourne Marathon Festival 2014

Wanna hear my Kevin Bartlett joke ?
A few years ago they were having trouble growing grass in the middle of Kevin Bartlett Oval.
No matter what they tried, nothing worked.
Then one day the supervisor turned up and the whole oval was a brilliant green.
“Wow, what did you do ? “, he asked the groundsman.
“Well, I just let it grow really long on the wings, and raked it over the middle”.

A NIGHT IN BENDIGO
A group of our metropolitan members went to Bendigo Athletics Complex at Latrobe University to join in a
trial “Venue Night” for our Bendigo Region members. The result ? A terrific evening, a little warm, but well
run and of a high standard.
The main highlights were the superb running of Michel Bieleny and another World Record by Lavinia Petrie.
On the day before she flies to Monaco to receive the award as the IAAF Best Masters Athlete for 2014, Lavinia underlined her entitlement to that award. She broke her own W70 3000m W.R. by 15 seconds in clocking 12.52.
Thanks to Peter Barrett, Peter Hayes, Annette Major and of course Terry Hicks, who supplied some lovely
“St. Annes“ wines for the outstanding performances. Unfortunately no wine for second placgetters in the
walk. Tom Savage did a great job as commentator. Thanks Tom.
Unfortunately, we only have space to show the Masters Results. Thanks to the under 30’s for competing.

The Andy Salter Relay has been a highlight of the Springvale /Noble Park calendar for many

The Andy Salter Relay is run over a 3.1km road course, with four runners in each team
completing one lap of the course. There are two divisions, one for Challenge teams and the
other for Fun Run teams.
Challenge teams must consist of three men and one woman and the total combined age of the
team must be at least 175 years. The winning team will be presented with the “Andy Salter
Perpetual Trophy” to hold for 12 months. Members of the first three teams receive trophies.
Fun Run teams consist of four runners but there are no age (other than runners being of
Masters age) or sex restrictions.
The Bert Warburton Walk Relay is over a 2 km course with each walker completing one lap.
Teams consist of three walkers of masters age and can be male, female or mixed.
To give everyone a chance at a trophy all run and walk teams will compete on an estimated time
basis. Upon entry, teams nominate an estimated total team time. The teams (one run and one
walk) that finishes closest to their estimated time will receive trophies. The first three Challenge
teams will be excluded, having already received trophies.
Entry fee is $12.00 per run team and $9 per walk team, payable on registration between 6.30

In the Lap of the Gods
An Article by Peter Thorne
A 5k handicap is in some respects a messy process; runners collecting at the 200m mark; times being
read out and discussed with closest competitors; the gun going off to start the clock; runners setting up and
leaving at their handicap times.
How do you count your laps? Do you keep a number in your head (you’ve got nothing else to do)? Do
you count the first half lap, or do you wait until you’ve run one and a half when your brain ticks over to one?
I have run the 10k Browne Shield event at Collingwood a few times with a lap scorer but have successfully
counted to twenty-five and using the clock (about two minute laps plus a bit) to confirm. On one occasion at
Collingwood I counted successfully to twenty when I decided to count the last five laps backwards. After two
laps I didn’t know where I was and had to ask for reassurance from the lap scorer. Of course this level of
communication on the run is fraught with problems considering fatigue and the lap scorer not having a clue
what you’re yelling about.
I need to mention that on completing lap thirteen of one of these runs I noticed my lap scorer (a
prominent woman athlete) completely engrossed in conversation and not noticing me at all – she worked it
out.
To get to the point: On this particular night at Knox, in the 5k handicap I caught up to David who runs
about the same as myself (a bit quicker actually) and after a while we had a discussion as to the number of
remaining laps. He suggested three, I suggested four, and to complicate matters more he inferred a starting time of two minutes and twenty seconds thereabouts. The mathematics that processed this information
coupled with the last view of the clock and considering a lap time of two minutes plus a bit and factoring in
the first half lap, put my head in a spin and three laps remaining was agreed on.
We were wrong; but we dead heated ahead of everyone else and were excitedly presented with a Masters
Athletics glass each.
I take the records home, put them on a spreadsheet and send them off to Judy Walters each month
for Around the Grounds, but on the drive home I had worked out that we weren’t the winners, as did David,
and we both felt quite unsettled.
We conferred next week and returned our trophies on the pretext of old age,
134 years combined.
The real question is who are the winners really, and what does the trophy
mean to us?
We get a real thrill when we win a glass – these trophies are a big part
of what Masters athletics is all about. With the handicap system we have to
admire that person in the club that works out the starting times; the need to
set a time that challenges each runner, but also
gives her or him the sense that a win is possible.
Some of the glasses I have won over the years
have survived and some have suffered in the
dishwasher, but it is always great to see a glass
presented and special to see someone get their
first glass.

VALE JOAN HOOPER (1937-2014)
Though somewhat belatedly, we reveal the recent sad passing of well known Racewalk Champion
Joan Hooper, on 22May 2014.
Joan met and married husband Lindsay - himself a talented middle distance runner - in 1981, and in
recent years lived in Berwick Brae Retirement Village, in Berwick.
Her career in Veterans Athletics began purely by chance in 1976, when accompanying her talented
daughter Dianne to the Annual Federation Games in Canberra when she made the spontaneous decision to
venture from slow jogging to the more complicated technical event of Racewalking. The rest is history !
Through her natural ability, determination and insatiable competitive spirit, she soon began to make
her presence felt in the W40 division at State and National level competitions. Under the initial guidance of
renowned coaching duo Betty Newman and Tom Daintry, Joan then set her sights on the World stage, gaining
Bronze medals at Hanover, Germany in 1979 and Christchurch, New Zealand in 1981.
However, with the incentive of the VII World Veterans Games in Melbourne in 1987, Joan’s renowned competitive nature saw her continually set State and National records with monotonous ease, the result, at
those Championships, she not only won both her 5000m (26:35.40) and 10000m (54.51) events, but set new
World Records in the process.
A perfect exponent of the demanding sport of racewalking, Joan was indeed a dedicated, disciplined
athlete, whose strength, speed, willpower and level of achievement over a period of almost 15 years was
only then terminated prematurely in 1991after being diagnosed with an incurable medical condition.
Joan certainly made her mark in her specialist events at the highest level and will be sadly missed by
family and athletics friends.

GOLD FOR AUSTRALIA
STORIES of our SPORTING MEDALS
NATIONAL SPORTS MUSEUM
JOHN DEAN in the MELBOURNE MARATHON
The National Sports Museum, situated at the MCG, is an exciting place for those interested in sport, which is
the majority of us. The Museum showcases a multitude of sports and their history in this country and beyond. Many exhibitions are on long-term display but some, dealing with special sports or artifacts, are on
show for only a limited time. “Gold for Australia” features stories of sporting medals won not only by champions but by also-rans as well, to indicate the wide variety of participation and performance in sport in this
country. This exhibition has attracted much interest and is open until 31st March 2015.
Near the entrance to this space, on the lower level of the Museum, is a series of panels displaying prominent sporting people, their story and their medals. The feature consists of Frank Beaurepaire, Olympic
swimming medallist who was a leader in bringing the 1956 Olympics to Melbourne, Liz Ellis, Australian netball captain and legend, Debbie Flintoff-King, Olympic gold medal-winning athlete, Peter Antonie, champion
rower and sculler, as well as John Dean, Victorian Masters stalwart and Manager at Aberfeldie venue and
finisher of over 30 Melbourne Marathons. While the others were all champions in their field John represents
those thousands of sports people who have made a dedicated and consistent contribution to their sport over
so many years. As well as a photo of John at the finish of a Melbourne Marathon, the panel features the 27
medals he won in doing so. Some of his finishes happened before medals were awarded.
This display is a great tribute to John
Dean and his achievements which,
at his level, are deemed to be comparable with those of acknowledged
champions. It is also a great promoter of athletics for older people
and what is possible to be achieved
by them. All athletes and interested
parties are urged to visit the Museum
and this exhibition while it is on, as
well as being able to see what the
NSM has to offer in the wider sporting
context.
It may be of interest that among the
rostered Guides at the Sports Museum are VMA members Judy Wines
and Ashley Page who between them
have many Melbourne Marathon finishes to their credit, Trevor Vincent,
Commonwealth Games gold medal
winner in the Steeplechase, and
Peter Le Get, with three Marathon
finishes. They would be pleased to
see you there and point out some of
the highlights of the Museum.

Alice Springs Running and Walking Festival 2014
article by Phil Urquhart
It's not raining; there's almost no wind but it is zero degrees at a few minutes
before 6:30 am in Alice Springs. Forty six marathon entrants have just been briefed
by the race director and I am sure that no-one fully absorbed the unfamiliar street
names and the initial twists and turns of the course and I am equally sure that they
were mightily relieved to be told that cycling outriders would keep us on track.
As I waited for the gun, my mind went back six months to a luncheon with
former business colleagues where we each set ourselves a challenge to be reviewed in a year. Buoyed by the
occasion, before my brain could intervene, I had mouthed the words "run a marathon in the outback". The
gun, cheers from the assembled supporters and the forty six set off. We were clad in all manner of running
gear from full length skins and several layers of tops, supplemented by beanies and gloves to the hardy
(or foolish) souls in only shorts and singlets. The course initially took us along a loop beside the Todd River
where yesterday we had enjoyed the annual "Henley on the Todd" regatta.
We were soon at the first drink station, where we were greeted by black robed witches (Halloween
in August?) and we remembered the instruction to rate each drink station who were competing for free dinners at Lasseter's. After reaching the Stuart Highway the new course traversed the Heavitree Gap, the only
southerly access through the MacDonnell ranges into Alice Springs, carrying road, rail and the Todd River.
As we settled into a steady pace, I remembered the varying degrees of enthusiasm my running friends had
expressed for a road trip to the Red Centre, as supporters or participants, but alas, in the early morning
darkness just six days ago it was Jim Clarke, myself and my partner Lorraine who set out.
A shout of "turn left here" from our accompanying cyclist brought me back to the task at hand, as we
left the aforementioned unfamiliar streets and joined the Ross Highway, now heading east, with the rising
sun warming frozen hands and faces. We passed assorted caravan and camping parks, camel farms and other
rural establishments, before we were greeted at the next drink station by volunteers dressed in 'onesies',
who we naturally marked harshly, despite their enthusiasm.
Eventually all signs of farming activity had been left behind and we were truly in the outback. The
ridges of the East MacDonnell ranges loomed on our left, a bright contrast to the deep, blue sky and the
dull green of the vegetation. The next of the gentle twists and turns of the highway revealed a drink station
manned by another eager group who, unfortunately, were amusing themselves with 80s music, thus ensuring
a low score (Flock of Seagulls were never a favourite of mine but the track was the appropriately named "I
ran so far away"). By now I was lagging well behind the pack but Jim was waiting for me, as in the distance
we observed the approaching race leaders on the way back.
Emily Gap was passed, one of many breaks in the range carved long ago by the swift flowing rivers
that existed in wetter times. Clearly marked kilometre indicators kept us focussed on the pace and regular
drink stations ensured we were well hydrated. Not to be forgotten was the appearance of Buzz Lightyear at
a later drink station, causing me to wonder whether we had somehow been beamed to another galaxy but
the booming strains of Queen's "We Are the Champions" brought me back to earth and the necessity to keep
moving. We had passed the half way point and were now in sight of the turnaround at 24.8 kilometres, as
the Todd River loop is omitted on the return leg: only 17.4 kilometres to run. We were still running last so as
we passed each drink station were able to happily inform the crew that they could now go home, however,
many just moved to the next to cheer us on. As we approached Heavitree gap, signalling the nearing of the
end, the race director drew up to check our progress and we quickly assured him we were determined to
finish so he phoned ahead our expected finish time. At the last drink station Buzz Lightyear made a further
appearance but refused to hand over his jet pack so we had to finish on foot under our own power. Which
we did, in a slow 5 hours 15 minutes, but another marathon done: the 73rd for Jim and the ninth for me.
With only an hour to the presentation, it was back to the Desert Palms for fifteen minutes walking in the
pool, a hot shower and off to Lassetter's for the complementary presentation lunch, where we applauded
the place-getters and accepted our finishers' medals. As the medal was handed to me those words uttered in
haste at that earlier lunch "run a marathon in the outback" came back to me and, with great relief, I realised I had honoured that commitment.
All in all, it was an excellently organised and well supported running festival with genuine outback
running but without the sand and stones underfoot. The Alice Springs Running and Walking Festival is an
event not to be missed for any distance runner who wants to experience an outback marathon. Whether it is

Phil Urquhart and Jim Clarke looking good at 30k
combined with a lengthy road trip, or fly-in fly-out, there is plenty to do in the Red Centre.
I highly recommend the event to all Masters and their families. It is hosted by the Alice Springs Running and Walking Club, whose president, John Bermingham, a Victorian and one time winner of the Victorian
and Traralgon marathons, will be known to many masters. Race Director, Peter Eason, and the committee
are planning to further improve the event and increase participation. As Peter pointed out, the marathon
course has IAAF-AIMS certification and it is sanctioned by Athletics Northern Territory and is the NT marathon championship. As well as the marathon, the festival included a half marathon run and walk, and a 10
km run and walk, all carrying generous cash prizes. All distances are certified.
I refuse to use the words "enjoyable" and "marathon" in the same sentence but this marathon was
memorable and the pain quickly forgotten. My congratulations go to the other Victorian finishers, David
Styles in 4 hours 22 minutes and David Ross in 3 hours 50 minutes.

JANE STURZAKER REPORTS FROM NEW YORK
INDIGENOUS RUNNERS BLITZ
NEW YORK MARATHON
They did it – the 2014 IMP squad absolutely performed brilliantly in the New York City Marathon!
In horrendous conditions that saw the wheelchair race shortened by 2.8 miles and moved to a
start at Brooklyn, all 10 runners obliterated the line of uncertainty, self-doubt and personal challenges to
emerge as strong, self-confident and extremely proud marathon runners. The temperature was a mere
2C, a stark contrast to the searing heat our runners have been exposed to in recent weeks. They swapped
the sunscreen for gloves, jumpers and beanies and pushed through a relentless head wind to conquer the
grueling 42.195km.
Race conditions somewhat reflected the squad’s first training run in Canberra, which some might
say were perfectly adequate for the first day of winter – rain, wind, and freezing temperatures. But no
amount of inclement weather was going to stop this squad. They demonstrate a perseverance, resilience,
and inner self-belief that renders them incapable of defeat; regardless of the enormity of what lies ahead.
Nathan Riley became the fastest Australian Aboriginal man to run the New York Marathon, finishing
the race in 3:09:20. Despite having a boxing background, he only started running in May. Ruth Wallace has
paved the way for the future of Australian Indigenous people of Adelaide, after she made history becoming
Adelaide’s first New. York Marathon runner
Allirra Braun’s incredible transformation didn’t stop at becoming 32kgs lighter; her renovated frame
allowed her to lead the charge for the women, being the first 2014 woman over the line. Allirra also became the first Braun, Ludwig, Kungurrakan and Gurrindji woman to complete a marathon.
Adrian Dodson-Shaw, after missing out on selection in 2012, was determined to give it one more
shot before the cut-off age would prevent him from applying again. His self-belief paid off when he was
named on the 2014 team and today’s marathon finish makes him the first Broome IMP representative to
participate in the New York Marathon.

pink jacket second row standing next to Spartan gentleman) and other Australians competing over there.

Elsie Seriat and Harold Matthew, the Nadine Hunt and Charlie Maher (respectively) Award recipients,
also raised the profile of Thursday Island, when they too became the Island’s first ever Australian Indigenous
runners to take on the marathon. Not only did they achieve great success in the marathon, both runners
have had a significant impact in their community by initiating fun runs, guest speaking at community events,
establishing fitness camps for the community to attend – free of charge, and continually inspiring their community to adopt healthy and active lifestyles.
These are just surface scratching examples of how incredible this group of Indigenous Australians
are. They have an infectious love and deep appreciation of family and community. They are humble and resilient. And they are an absolute asset to our nation. Today didn’t mark the finish of a marathon; it symbolised new pathways and opportunities. Congratulations to the historic 2014 IMP squad. You are the future and
you will continue to influence change within both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities nationwide.
Today was just the beginning.
Jane with her finishing medal. It is a fabulous medal, does not come up as well in the photo. She
was thrilled to run this marathon in a time of 4 hours 30 after running 3 marathons in 3 days in
the USA, the week prior!

from Online Sports Tours meet the majority of travel and accommodation costs of the Team Managers.
PAYMENT OF ADMINISTRATION FEE FOR PAPER ENTRIES
For athletes NOT entering online, Australian Masters Athletics and all other competing countries are required to submit hard
copy entries verified by the National Association together with a bulk payment of entry fees.
AMA Entries Clerk (Judy Cooper) is responsible for paper entries.
These competitors are asked to forward just ONE payment in Australian dollars (AUD) to AMA to cover all fees
required
Payment of entry costs
A conversion rate for payment of hard copy entry costs has been set at
one Euro to 1.44 Australian Dollars .

of $45.00 to cover costs for team managers and administration expenses.
Example:
Total WMA entry fees
in EURO
260 Euro
$45.00
in AUD

Total payment to AMA in AUS
$ 419.16 ($45 + ( 260 x 1.44) )

REMINDER: WMA ANTI-DOPING REQUIREMENTS
Athletes are reminded that WMA strictly observes the IAAF Anti-Doping Rules. This means that a medical certificate
explaining the use by an athlete of a prohibited substance, even for sound medical reasons, will not avail in the event of
an athlete testing positive to a prohibited substance. The only exception is if the athlete is in possession of a Therapeutic
Use Certificate (“TUE”) issued to him/her either by the WMA Medical Officer or the assigned body provided for in IAAF
Rule 34(5). For athletes wishing to apply for a TUE, written applications are to be submitted to the WMA Oceania regional
Medical Officer
DR ROGER PARRISH
17 Brentwood Avenue, Figtree Heights NSW 2525
Ph: 02-4275-1800 W 02 4228 6260 H or Mobile: 0418 470 244 E-mail: [email protected]
All such applications are to be fully supported by medical documentation setting out the existing medical condition/s and
the need for the use of the prohibited substance. The provisions of IAAF Rule 34(5) must be followed irrespective of to
whomever the athlete submits the TUE application. It should be noted that a TUE approval only lasts for a period of 12
months. A longer time period (up to 4 years) can be applied for if the treatment is ongoing.
Check also the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) website for the full list of prohibited substances.
