Monday marked 300 days until the world-class athletics event, and Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the milestone would ramp up preparations for competitors, supporters, organisers and the Bathurst community.
“This will be the first World Athletics event to be held in Australia for 25 years, so it will be fantastic to welcome 550 elite runners from more than 60 countries to the famed Bathurst racetrack to compete,” Minister Ayres said.
“The NSW Government is very proud to support this World Championship event as it highlights our commitment to support regional NSW, and our strategy to secure 10 World Cups in 10 years for the state.” Brenda LaPorte, Chair of the Local Organising Committee, said: “We’re planning that everyone who visits Bathurst for the Championships leaves with the memory of a truly unique, and warmly welcome, regional Australian experience.”
