We know the whole community has concerns about fuel, economic costs, and the lack of predictability 2026 is throwing at us. We want you to know we hear you and are trying to do what we can to make this event accessible to all competitors across Australia. That's why we have made the decision to remove the early bird pricing deadline. Current pricing will now remain in place right up until entries close on Friday 1st May 2026, in the hope of easing some financial pressure and assisting with decision making for competitors.

The closing date of 1st May will remain unchanged, as we still require adequate time to coordinate the event and confirm final numbers to ensure the best possible experience for everyone.
