This year's CareFlight Woodford to Glenbrook Classic will attract over 1000 entrants! Participants will run or ride the Oaks Fire Trail through the beautiful Blue Mountains National Park from the town of Woodford down to the Euroka Clearing near Glenbrook.

Covering 25km of undulating bushland, the trail is incredibly scenic and a must for keen mountain bikers and trail runners. Participants are supported the full length of the track by Rural Fire Service crews stationed along the way, providing first aid and drinks. A CareFlight doctor and St John Ambulance volunteers will also be in support.

The event will finish with a community fair-style reception in the beautiful Euroka Clearing. Families are welcome to join in the fun, with activities for kids, food stalls and displays throughout the day.

Mountain bike riders start from 9am and runners start from 10am. Exact start times and transport and parking details will be advised closer to the event.

Registration is just $45 for adults and $20 for juniors, which only covers the cost of conducting the event. Money raised by entrants through donations and fundraising activities helps to fund CareFlight's services. Each entrant is asked to assist with this.

Teams and individuals are welcome to enter. The registration process is online and easy to follow.

Registration is now open and will close at 4pm on Friday 21 June 2013, or until the event reaches
the maximum number of participants. No entries will be accepted on the day of the event. There is
a limit of 650 cyclists, with no limit on runners.
Register

We will need a number of volunteers the day before the event to help set up and on the day itself
to help with the event.

CareFlight Woodford to Glenbrook Classic Sunday June 30, 2013
Important Note Regarding Forecast Bad Weather.

The event is currently on – and will be ON unless you hear otherwise!
With a significant rain event forecast for NSW over the next few days, the National Parks & Wildlife Service have advised us that they may be forced to close the Blue Mountains National Park this week. This is due to the danger of falling trees (from soft ground), possible damage to the trail, and likely flooding of the Glenbrook causeway.

This closure will result in the Woodford to Glenbrook Classic being postponed. We are liaising with NPWS and NSWRFS regularly to monitor this. There will be a decision made on Thursday and you will be advised via this email address. Any updated information will also be placed on the W2G Facebook page and the CareFlight website.

We are hopeful that the event can go ahead, but safety of all involved is paramount, so be prepared for the postponement.

A new date for the event will be advised if a postponement is necessary.

In the meantime, please find below your entrant information for the event THIS SUNDAY!

Hoping it all passes! Although I don't relish a wet ride, nor a swim back over the causeway, my schedule is pretty tight for the next few months! C'mon weather, sort your crap out!!

I recieved the email twice over 2 days. We will know on thursday.
