COME ALONG TO
CROSS COUNTRY

Yes it is that time again, the Summer T&F season has come to an end, and Winter running is about to start.

Cross Country is for all athletes Under 6 – Under 15. The season runs from late April till late July with an end of season get together some time in August (see program  for details). It is great fun for both athletes and their parents and is a fantastic way to keep fit over winter.

Every Sunday morning for about half an hour, that’s it!

So if you love running and would like to improve your track time (no matter what distance you run) or would just like to keep fit over winter, this is for you.

For athletes already registered in the 2007/2008 Summer On-Track or T&F Season, the fee is only $25. This includes all Open Days (except optional days) and entry to Region & State Championships.  What a bargain!

For those athletes who are new registrations (ie: those who did not do Little Aths over summer) the fee is $71. This includes your registration to VLAA and DLAC, all Open Days (except optional days) & entry to Region & State Championships.

Why not try it out? We love it and we are sure you will too.
