We will ensure that you have adequate time to recover after you compete and rest for your next event. Check the start times for your heat time and helping times.
Parking
To give us plenty of room to play with please park at the volleyball courts located next to the post office on Winton Road, this is only 200m from CrossFit Perth. Particularly on Saturday please do not park in adjacent businesses as your vehicle maybe fined or towed.

Walk in registration is allowed each day for people wanting to compete who have not pre-registered, however they will be assigned to heats after the pre-registered athletes and the cost will be $35 cash on the day. The SAS Resource Trust website payments stopped working last week, if you were unable to pay please bring $25 cash when you register on the day.
