                              DISTRICT CROSS-COUNTRY COMPETITION  

The District Cross-Country Competition is to be held at Macleay Park 5  (closest oval to Buchanan Avenue near the Scout Hall, North Balwyn) (Melways ref 46 C4) this Friday 16th May, 2025. The students will be marshalled for the first event at 12:30pm. A bus will be transporting our students to and from the event.

Approximate Starting Times

* These two events may be run concurrently if the competitor numbers are low. 

Remember that ages are taken from the 31st December 2025. In other words, whichever birthday they have during this year determines their age group. They must be turning at least 9 in 2025 to compete at the District level. The top 15 runners in each event will be eligible to proceed to the Division XC which will be held on MONDAY 26th MAY at Lake Ruffy Park in Doncaster.

Please Note:

• The race will be run in a clockwise direction keeping the cones/markers on the right for the entire race. 
• Each school may have 10 competitors per event.
• We expect all students to compete in their proper age group.
• We will be expecting each school participating to provide at least one official.
• Children should carry any necessary medication, such as Ventolin, with them while running.
• The children should take a water/drink bottle with them to the venue.
• Spiked shoes are not permitted.
• Parents and other family members are welcome as spectators.
