Another year, another O’WEEK! And to round it all off, we’re reinstating the CLOCKTOWER RACE so you can make a dash for some cash, once again! So, slap on them socks and sprinting shoes and get down to the REGISTRY building on the Friday to join in the festivities!
The aim is to ‘beat the chimes’ by completing the 370m course before the midday bells stop ringing (about 53.5 seconds).
