2025 Cross Country season will start on Sunday 27 April 2025, see below for times. Future dates will be May 11, 18, 25; June 1, 9*, 15, 22 & 29. Note June 9 is Monday of Kings Birthday weekend and no competion on May 4 as it is our Presentation Day. Our final week on June 29 will be our traditional all in Handicap event.
There are NO COSTS for athletes registered for the season with either NDLAC, another LA centre, or a senior athletics club. Yes, this is included in your child’s NDLAC season registration so no additional cost!
New members are also welcome with a $50 Cross Country registration fee applicable, this will be reimbursed if they sign-up for our 2025-26 NDLAC Summer season (commencing in September 2025, exact date TBC). If you have a friend newly signing up, please ensure they bring along proof of age to the first meet they attend.
Approximate distances: 500m (6 and younger*), 1000m (7-8s), 1500m (9-10s), 2000m (11-12s), 3000m (13+ & Open). Athletes remain in the same age groups as the just completed summer season. While winter season awards will be based on athletes’ achievements in the designated distance for their age group, athletes may choose to compete in other distances and/or more than once per week to complement their training program for the schools’ representative XC season. Ie, athletes can only break a record in the designated distance applicable for their Age Group.
*Note that the 500m race is reserved exclusively for 6s & Tiny Tots and these athletes may not compete in other distances.
As always, WE NEED SOME ASSISTANCE FROM PARENTS each week to help set up, act as course marshals, process the finishers and pack up equipment afterwards and timekeepers. Thank you in advance!!
Uniforms may be worn but are not compulsory for this series.
Parking within the grounds may be difficult if there are soccer matches still in progress. However, it would be appreciated if families would NOT park on the western side of Lancelot Street where Course B is set. Please park on the eastern side or on Foxglove Road.
Cancellations for any reason will be notified via Team App and Facebook page.
Families are requested to arrive a little earlier (by 3.30pm) in the first week to finalise their registrations and payments (if applicable) and to “Walk the Course”. Athletes should arrive by 3:45pm thereafter.
