Vic Short Champs, Sunday 19 September

Entries are open on Eventor for the Vic Short Champs which will take place on the Tappit Hen map at Tarnagulla on Saturday 19 September. The event features two short races, a morning race with “turn up an go” punching starts and an afternoon race featuring a chasing start where your start time is based on your time in the morning race so the first across the line are the overall winners. This is the same format that was used for the popular Vic Short Champs event at Dunolly as part of the Easter 3 Days carnival on Anzac Day 2025.

The event centre will be in the Community Centre at Soldiers Memorial Park and we’re hoping that Mary the local café operator will set up there to help keep us going between races.

Map: Tappit Hen, Tarnagulla; Scale: 1:5,000; Contour interval: 2.5 metres Technical mining detail along Sandy Creek, including depressions, earth banks, erosion gullies and several large dredge mining basins (possibly holding water). Lightly forested.
No visiting or training on the Tappit Hen map prior to the event on 19 September 2026.

See the information flyer on Eventor for more details.
