Cross Country

Between April and July, Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics Centre conducts cross-country runs at times and venues as set out by the Executive member for Special Competition. This program will be available closer to the end of the Track and Field season.

The program is usually finished within an hour.

Cross country running is an important part of Little Athletics. It is an ideal way for those athletes who like the longer distances to enjoy a different style of competition. Further, participating in the program is beneficial for building strength and stamina for the next season of track and field events.

Under 13/15	3000 mts

The season consists of approximately 12 centre meetings plus Region and State finals, with numerous Open Days from other Centres.
