busy for hours leading up to the beginning of the day. People will be able to sign in for the Legacy charity runs from 5am at CSIRO Flats. At 6am, competitors in the Poziere’s Challenge Endurance Race will receive their safety brief and race instructions before the order to start is given at 8am. MAJ Gallegos said units would start at diff erent times according to the amount of money they had raised for Legacy. Teams will have no idea of what to expect when they begin the Poziere’s Challenge, but they will all complete a mystery activity before heading out on the course proper. The endurance course fi nishes with the Brigade obstacle course so it’s a true test of endurance. Last year, 1RAR picked up the 100pts for fi rst place consolidating their lead in the Commander’s Trophy. Section attack demonstrations would be conducted by 3RAR at 8.30am and 1.30pm, batteries from 4Regt RAA would hold a gun race at 10am and there would be activities aimed at children throughout the day and amusement rides. Food and drink will be on sale at various unit stalls with the unit Regimental Trust Funds splitting the profi t with Legacy on the day. LTCOL Stanley said the 1RAR Band would provide entertainment during the day. MAJ Gallegos said registrations for the Legacy trail runs closed on September 1. Go to www.trybooking.com/Booking/ BookingEventSummary to register online. Entry fees for the charity runs are $40 for the 21km trail run, $20 for the 10km run and the fee for the 5km run is $10.
