Cross Country Season Has Started

Did you know that by registering for our summer season, your fees also include the Winter Cross Country Season??

Cross Country (XC) is our Winter Athletics season. We run and race on all types of tracks … through puddles, mud, and open grass and in all weather conditions.

This year’s Cross Country season will be taking place at Edwin Flack Reserve in Berwick, alongside some of our other GCR centres.

The Cross Country days are over very quickly! We start at 9 am and the day is over before 10 am!
Start times will vary from age group to age group so make sure to check our weekly Facebook event to see the start times!

Cross Country State Relays Championships

Cross country Relays will take place June 4^th for athletes in the u9-16 age groups. This is a state event held at Cruden Farm in Langwarrin. In the next few weeks, we will open up registrations for Cross Country Relays!

The State Cross-Country Relay Championships is a Teams event, where 3 athletes complete a Relay over a Cross-Country course. The distances are less than the individual Cross-Country distances to allow greater flexibility and formation of Teams. Athletes do not carry a baton, they start and finish within a transition zone.

Events

U9 & U10: 3 x 1km
U11 & U12: 3 x 1.5km
U13, U14, U15 & U16: 3 x 2km (2 laps of 1km)

Stawell Gift

Every year Little Athletics Victoria holds events at the Stawell Gift. This year Little Athletes could enter 100m, 400m, 800m and 1600m.
We had one athlete go up and enter all 4 events.
Congratulations to Declan Maling, who was one of the only athletes to run in all the events, and also make the final in each event!
