Campbelltown Joggers Club – We are back!!!

It’s been a while but we are coming back! There will be some modifications for the foreseeable future and things could change again with little to no warning but the CJC committee are very pleased to be able to bring back our regular events. 

For all runs the motto will be “Get in, Run, Get out” in accordance with the AIS recommendations. All members are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the CJC Covid-19 Safety Plan. Please ensure that you follow social distancing guidelines at all times (including no hand-shakes, high-fives, spitting) and under no circumstances should you attend if you are showing any cold or flu like symptoms.

Handicap Events/Junior Cross Country/Club Championship Series – Recommencing Sunday 26 July

The CJC Committee has decided in order to honour the prestige of the Club Championship and with some uncertainty regarding future restrictions, there will be no Club Championship Competition for 2020. We do know that many of you have missed competitive running and will still conduct the remaining 10km Handicaps on the 4^th Sunday of each month for July, August, September and October. The Winner of these Handicap Events will still be awarded the esteemed Red Singlet and trophy at our Annual Presentation Night. The Alan Holt 10 Mile Handicap will also be rescheduled once CJC operations are back up and running.

President’s Cup will be determined by the 5 handicap events that have/will take place – February, July, August, September and October. Stay tuned for more details.

The Junior Cross Country will also take place in July, August, September and October.

There will obviously be a few procedural changes to Handicap Day that will be communicated to all members in due course.

We thank you for your patience and ask for your cooperation to ensure that CJC events can continue in this new normal.

Regards

Peta Shanahan

President
