Australia’s oldest and richest footrace the Powercor Stawell Gift Carnival returns for its 141st edition from April 8 to 10, 2023 in Stawell, Victoria. Over 675 athletes are set to compete at the World Athletics Heritage meet across distances from 70 metres up to 3,200 metres in more than 35 events over the long Easter weekend.
The semi finals and final of iconic 120-metre Powercor Stawell Gift and Change Our Game Women’s Gift happen on Easter Monday with heats to qualify on Saturday featuring a world-class field and some of Australia’s best track athletes and pro runners including national champion Jake Doran, 100-yard national record holder Jack Hale, Birmingham Commonwealth Games sprinter Bree Masters, and returning Stawell Gift winners Jacob Despard and Dhruv Rodrigues Chico.
Official ambassador Tamsyn Lewis-Manou has tipped the duo of multiple finalist Matt Rizzo and partner Masters to win their respective finals, saying, “This year the line-up is full of talent so picking a winner is going to be difficult. If I have to choose though I’m going with a pair that would be a great yarn for Gift folklore. My pick is the loved up speedy duo of Matt Rizzo and Bree Masters. Bring on Easter Monday!”
