Exciting New Ultra for Australia

Calling all Ultra-Marathoners

We are intending to stage a 240 km race from the New South Wales South coast to the summit of Mt. Kosciusko next Summer (sometime between December '05 and March '06). The aim is to provide Australian runners with a high profile, professionally organised UltraMarathon.

To achieve this we will require:

1. Approval from relevant authorities - e.g. National Parks and Wildlife Service, NSW Police and local councils

2. Corporate Sponsorship

3. Athletes keen to run from the beach to the top of Australia

This is why we seek your support. If we can demonstrate there is a substantial number of athletes interested in the event, sponsorship and approval from the authorities should prove easier to obtain. If you are interested in being a participant in what we hope to be Australia's premier UltraMarathon could you please reply via email.

Your expression of interest does not bind you to compete in the event. It purely enables us to better plan the race.

Sean Greenhill, Jann Hermann and myself successfully completed a "FatAss" style test event in December 2004.

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who you think may be interested.

Thank you

Paul Every
