The
2020 Central Coast Cross Country season is starting for points on Saturday April 4th at Pioneer Dairy, off South Tacoma road. Setting up the race shortly after
12midday the first (short distance) event starts at 14.30. The
preliminary program is now available and has more than 20 races at 17
different locations including new venues and a team run. Eighteen runs are timed during the season for the overall
age/gender/distance competition.
Each Saturday
CCXC run is organised along three different loop tracks in two waves
at a specific venue. The first wave is the shortest
track (typically 2 km) and normally starts at 14.30. The second
wave is a combined start of the medium (4 km) and long track (6
km) and starts shortly after the first wave has finished. This
provides the opportunity to either do a warm-up run before starting
the medium/long or to run up with family members that run
the short track. Each track is clearly marked and where
needed volunteers are posting along the track to give directions.
As part of
your registration you will also receive a new shoe tag that will not only time your
weekly challenge for the overall division/age competition but also
helps generating your personal report as (optional) emailed to you
after each race. The new tag has a specific 4-digit number Nxxx, starting either with 2 for short, 4 for medium and 6 for long distances and makes it possible to flush tags finishing on the wrong distance. This makes processing of the results faster and more efficient. A second personal tag with another first number can be purchased at an additional $5 for the season and includes email reporting but is excluded from that distance point score. Season pass registration will be possible until July 4, so you can miss out on a few runs (but miss some competition
points).
The fees structure has simplified to two options: a season pass (with family discount options) or a 5-pack run card. The latter is an option for 5 runs during the season on a single tag. The tag is depleted after five races and can be topped up for another five, however it is personal, can not, like any other tag, be shared and is locked to a distance of your choice.

During the registration
process you will be asked for each participant to provide an email
address and choice of event (Short, Medium or Long). This will
facilitate your automated weekly run report. You can also opt out,
not receiving the
emails; the weekly results will also be made available on the
website.
Multiple individuals can be registered and paid for in a single transaction, please use the individual option on the next page. A family should only be created/chosen when registering families for a discount option (four family members or more). Early birds (season registration online before race 4) will come with a free CCXC T-shirt.

How do I know that I have successfully signed up?
You will receive 2 emails from Register Now. One will be a confirmation of all of your registration details and the other will have your tax invoice attached.
Can I still use my tag from last year?
No. New tags are available with other numbering and are already registered in the timing system. False finishes (read tags registered to other distances) will be flushed by default making the processing of the results faster and more efficient. The aim is to get the results processed directly after your finish. Of course the point score can only be done after the last finisher and the quality checks. Please hand in your old tag as these will be reprogrammed and reused in future.
Can I run two distances, each with a registered time, so a 2K with 4K or a 2K with 6K?
Yes. However only on two tags as each tag is designated to a specific distance. Your tag starts with a 2, 4 or a 6, depending on its assigned distance. Finishing a 2K run with a 4K tag will be flushed by the timing system. An additional tag can be purchased for $5 and is reserved on your name the whole season. Only your first, initial choice of distance/tag is eligible for your point score. You can wear both tags during the race(s), but not on top of each other risking detection problems..(one on each shoe).
Can I save my registration part way through and come back it later?
Yes. By using
your password you can choose to save it and come back later. After
payment you can only change the contact details and distance
category. This option closes on April 4th, 2 hours before start of
the first race.
Will the on-line registration close by a certain date?
It is open
indefinitely at this stage. As the season progresses, we will get
less people signing up but it will still be open for those who want
to use it. At the registration desk one has electronic registration as well.
Can I use School Vouchers to pay for the junior registration?
Also this year CCXC has
requested approval for becoming an Active Kids Program (School
Voucher) provider
https://sport.nsw.gov.au/sectordevelopment/activekids.
In the CCXC registration
through RegisterNow you will be able to tick a box if you would like
to make use of the voucher for refunding the junior season fees. When
formally approved as an Active Kids Program provider we will contact
you and start the process.
What if I want to pay by credit card on registration day?
We will have
laptops available on registration day that will have internet access
for you to use to sign on but there usually is a queue. In order to prevent transcription errors and incomplete information it is the plan to ban paper (also more environmental friendly). In remote areas we will use a PDF form on a laptop.
