This is an AFSS point score race.
All AFSS members are eligible to be a part of the AFSS point score. You do not need to travel interstate and compete at other AFSS races to be eligible for the national AFSS point score system.
If you are not an AFSS member you can still enter our race but will not be eligible for the national point score. You are still eligible for placings and prizes at this event.
If you would like to become an AFSS member, membership forms can be found at

โณ๏ธBeing a WASSA member does not make you a Running West member. Running West Sled Dog Club is an RGO (Race Giving Organisation) and not a membership club.
โณ๏ธBeing an ASSA member does not make you an AFSS member. These are two separate national bodies, and memberships do not transfer to the other.

Our race location will be Jarrahwood State Forest, approximately 30 minutes from Busselton. For those familiar with WASSA Jarrahwood races we are camping on the same air strip, however our tracks will differ from the WASSA tracks.
You will be camping and will require your own camping gear and will need to provide your own meals. We are camping in the bush, so you need to be as self-sufficient as possible. Portaloos will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own.
