A Reminder On Championship Events

With regards to all Australian 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 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd to be recognised as Championship winners by AUTRA, however they must be Australian citizens. International entrants cannot claim a podium finish in a Championship, but they can claim a podium finish at the event itself.

In the Women’s 6 Day & Championships, AUTRA’s Bianca Harding took 1^st Female with a total distance of 501.906km. AUTRA member Karen Hayward claimed 2^nd Female 437.025km and AUTRA’s Sue Robertson finished with 412.068km, claiming 3^rd Female.
