In line with the intention of the NSW Government to remove State border restrictions from 12.01am on Monday 23 November 2020, after that time HRNSW will also remove restrictions previously placed upon participants entering NSW or returning from other States.

Should the NSW Government revert to State border restrictions at any time, HRNSW will continue to adhere to such protocols and restrictions.

In the following conditions, face masks remain compulsory and all persons MUST wear a face mask.

  • During Sample collection (Pre and Post Race);

  • At any other time as directed by HRNSW Stewards or Integrity Staff.
