Race briefings and news

TRSA has moved the majority of its news and race briefings to our new blog page.

This is to cut down the amount of volunteer time spent managing a separate email system and following up on complaints from our members about not receiving our correspondence.

Race briefings will continue to be published by the Friday preceding the event and we’ll continue to send you a link to the briefing.

We will continue to send out emails for some communication.

As a precaution we ask you to check:

1. Spam filters – emails are often sorted through your spam filter settings. Please check your spam and junk folders. 

We have removed links in our emails that could be potentially identified as spam.

2. Save our email addresses – registration@trailrunningsa.com and do_not_reply@trailrunningsa.com – as safe or trusted senders. Different mail servers have different ways to do this but here are the gmail instructions.

3. Unsubscribes. We have a number of people on our lists who have unsubscribed over the years. Hard though this might be to imagine, it happens! Mailchimp does not allow us to fix this on our end. Please resubscribe – we’re not in the habit of spamming you.

4. Email address typos. Believe it or not there are a lot of email address with typos out there. Please check your email address carefully.

5. Multiple email addresses. Please use the same email address for membership and race entries. Different emails will result in members not receiving their super special discount rate.

6. Different spellings of names across membership records and race entries. For example Nicky versus Nicole; ODonnell versus O’Donnell. This completely brings us undone for our membership super specials as well as our On-the-Trails points series and ITRA ratings. You MUST BE CONSISTENT with your naming convention and spelling.
