It’s time to shine Crystal Brook!

🌾🏃‍♀️ The Crystal Brook Classic – A Country Carnival with Heart!

We would love to see as many of you as possible make the trip to Crystal Brook for what is always one of the most enjoyable meets on our SAAL calendar.

Yes, it’s a bit of a drive (just over two hours), but trust us — it’s worth every kilometre. The Crystal Brook community has poured an incredible amount of time, energy, and country spirit into bringing this event to life. Their hospitality, enthusiasm, and love for athletics make this carnival something truly special.

We’ve worked with organisers to make it easier for everyone: the program starts at 12:30pm and finishes by 7:30pm, so you can travel up in the morning, enjoy a great day of racing, and still be home that night.

Expect a vibrant country atmosphere, great prizemoney, and a full day of racing from 70m through to 1600m. The community support, local colour, and relaxed vibe make this a meet that reminds us why we love this sport.

And there’s a little bonus for those chasing bigger goals this season:
🏅 Run the 120m and earn a 0.25m Bay Sheffield bonus
🏅 Run the 400m and earn a 1m Camden Classic bonus
🏅 Double points for U18 and Over 35 Series
(Conditions apply)

Let’s get behind the Crystal Brook community and show them how much we value their incredible commitment to our sport.

🟢 Nominations close this Friday, 10 October — We hope to see you all there for what promises to be a fantastic day of country racing. www.saal.org.au
