Cannonball Z Run 2013 / 2014
Sirpent:
Guys
I have been thinking about something for a few months now, mentioned it to a couple of members in passing and have decided to post this up to see what the general concensus is.
This forum has members from all over Australia and it would be great to create a unique event that gave everyone no matter where they are a chance to congregate and enjoy an event and truly bring us all together as a National group.
Therefore Ive come up with the idea running our own cannonball run.
The idea would be to start a run from all states at a time where all participants would meet up in the heart of Australia - Alice Springs.
The Melbourne group for instance would run across Western Vic via Adelaide, Port Augusta, Woomera, Coober Pedy, Marla, Ghan and then Alice.
Melbourne crew - 2244 km's
Adelaide crew - 1532 km's
Sydney crew - 2785 km's via Port Augusta SA where we would meet up for the remaining leg
Brisbane crew - 2993 km's
Perth crew - 3600 km's via Port Augusta also but with the advantage of doing the Nullarbor
Darwin crew - 1498 km's
This would need a lot of advance planning and preparation, and would probably be a 7 day minimal event, but I think it might make for some great documentary material also that could generate some big interest, I have some idea's.
Can anyone imagine the sight of 100 Zed's in Alice?
Cheers
John

Speed is not the idea here, ;) sure there will be opps for some straight out mayhem, but moreso its to do a national all points run visit the sights and end up doing a "What happens in Alice stays in Alice" event. 8)
