Important COVID-19 Information - 05-Oct-2020
To help LMBC comply with its obligations in relation to its COVID-19 Safety Plan we will need everyone’s help and cooperation.
The key focus is on protecting participants and volunteers and this requires significant changes to the way we have done things previously.

Participant information regarding COVID-19 requirements
We recommend reading the additional information from the links to external resources and download and use the Government COVIDSafe app .
- We are operating under a ‘Get In, Race, Get Out’ approach.
- This means not arriving more than 60 mins before the commencement of the event and leaving no later than 30 minutes after racing has concluded.
- Please practice physical distancing (stay 1.5m apart) and good hand hygiene (there will be lots of hand sanitiser) before and after your race.
- You must not attend if in the last 14 days you have been unwell (cough, sore throat, fever or shortness of breath) even if mild or had close contact with a known or suspected case of COVID-19.
- Anyone showing symptoms of COVID-19 during the event will be required to leave immediately.
- No congregating at the finish line.
- No hugging, handshaking or high fiving.
- Limit sharing equipment, this means being self sufficient with the equipment you need on the day.
- Please do not touch other people’s equipment or put on their number, unless they are from the same household as you.
- We will have a process for removing plastic numbers and transponders but we will not be able to provide cable cutters for shared use, so if you want to shorten your cables, consider bringing your own. (Not required for all events)
- You must bring all food and drink that you will need and avoid filling water bottles at taps.
- Please limit bringing spectators. The Tasmanian Government has recently made changes to the Contact Tracing Direction, Under this Direction, we are obliged to undertake the mandatory collection of member and spectator information from 15 December 2020. We will be using the 'Check in TAS' smartphone app to make this easier. Just scan the QR code on the sheet provided when you arrive at the venue and enter any extra visitors. It can be found on the Google Play Store and Apple Store.
- There will be no presentations at the event. More information below.
- No organised end of activity meal or other social activity.
