The Cross Country season gives athletes an opportunity to run a distance race over different terrain and courses each week. Most events include creeks, mud and hills! Athletes from the Tiny Tots to Under 17 age group may take part in Cross Country events. All cross-country events also include events for Mums and Dads, Rec Aths members, and an open event too. Children who have never been registered with a Little Athletics Centre are also invited to Come & Try at one of our season meets. Simply head to the meet you are interested in attending, sign-in at the registration desk and run in your age group – it’s that easy! (f you are unsure of your Age Group CLICK HERE)
It does not matter what your ability level is, the Little Athletics SA Cross Country season is the perfect recreational activity for any child or adult! It caters for anyone that wants to give distance running a go as YOU get to choose what distance you would like to participate in. It is also a great way to improve your fitness and make new friends!
If you compete in 3 or more meets in your Age Group throughout the season, you will then qualify to compete in the 2019 State Cross Country Championships!
