Welcome to the club nomination page for the NSW State Relay Championships at Sydney Olympic Park

We're excited to have you join us for this fantastic day of team competition! Here's everything you need to know to make it a great experience:

Getting There & Arrival
The championships are being held at Blacktown, so please plan your travel time accordingly and aim to arrive with plenty of time to spare. We ask all athletes to check in with your team convener at least 1 hour before your scheduled event – this helps us keep everything running smoothly!

Stay Connected
Make sure you've joined our WhatsApp competition group to follow along with the club spirit, get real-time updates, and share in the excitement of the day!

Team Formation
We'll do our absolute best to ensure you compete in your own age group. If numbers don't quite work out, we'll try to form teams in the age group above where it's safe and appropriate to do so. Early communication is key – please let us know about your wellbeing and whereabouts so we can make this an inclusive and fun day out for everyone!
