WEEKLY NEWS REPORT FOR 16-10-2025
As always, we're continuously on the hunt for your stories and reports, so get those race reports and photographs in to ultramag@autra.asn.au with the following information:
- Word document, single spaced
- Include the name of the event, the date and the location anywhere in the report (just a bullet point at the top is great)
- Please attach photographs to the email – do not put images in the body of your Word doc. You’ll just get me emailing you back asking for the photos sent in the correct way!
- As many photos as possible. With our new website, it’s now easier than ever to include a nice gallery in each race report
- No PDFs please
And remember, it doesn’t have to be about an AUTRA-listed event specifically! You just have to be an AUTRA member for the 2025 year. Also too, if you’ve run in a non-AUTRA listed event anywhere on home soil or internationally, we’d love to include your race results and experience in our Member Updates, so please do reach out to us via email to kate.dzienis@autra.asn.au
If any corrections need to be made in any of the results listed below, please alert me via email.
A Reminder On Championship Events
With regards to all Championship events, a reminder that winners – podium positions in both the Men’s and Women’s divisions – do not need to be financial AUTRA members. They simply need to win 1st, 2nd and 3rd to be recognised as Championship winners by AUTRA, however they must be Australian citizens.
