Cross Country returns this Saturday as PRLAC hosts at Edwardes Lake Park. First events start at 9am with warm up taking place at 8:45am. Due to the increased amount of athletes/families attending, parking along Griffiths Street may be limited. Please use surrounding streets for parking if necessary.

We will have the canteen and BBQ running so encourage you to support our centre by grabbing something to eat for breakfast either pre/post race and a coffee to warm you up too!

All PRLAC U6-17 athletes are encouraged to participate whether they have ran in cross country meets previously or not. No need to register or nominate, just turn up in correct PRLAC uniform and CBA name patch and you are all set! Our Cross Country Manager, Kerrie will be in attendance around our PRLAC teardrop flag on the hill if you have any questions on the day. For those waiting to pay for XC or Relays, please pay at the canteen.

For those who are on the roster to volunteer on the course, we kindly ask that you arrive by 8:30am for a briefing and course walk so all volunteers are in position by 8:45am ready for athletes to start racing! Lynton will be in touch later tonight.

Athletes compete in one event per week over distances ranging from 500m to 3000m depending on their age group:
U6- 500m
U7 & U8- 1km
U9 & U10- 1.5km
U11 & U12- 2km
U13 – U17- 3km

Cross Country is a winter sport and will go ahead if it is wet and raining. The number of races held each week also depends on the venue, the number of athletes in attendance and the safety of the athletes. If you arrive late your child may miss their race. There is a start time of 9am for the 500m race and no scheduled start time for the rest of the races. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment!

Course maps and a schedule of the winter season program can be found on the 'Division One Cross Country' Stack Team App page. Please sign up!

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, it is going to be a cracker of a morning!
