General Information
During the Autumn and Winter period we host a Cross Country Program at various venues within Wyndham and Hobsons Bay. This offers a great opportunity for our athletes to maintain their fitness between Summer seasons and offers a great family atmosphere. Regular Saturday Morning competitions commence around 8-45am and last approx 1 hour.
This season we will again be organising a family fun run and day at the You Yangs, mixing and socialising with some of our senior athletes through Western A's. The day will provide some great training tips for our athletes planning to progress to State Championships in July.
For further details and the full calendar see the Cross Country Calendar
Results are available each week. Results are also submitted each week for publication in the Werribee Banner newspaper.
If you have any queries please ring Mark De Girolamo on 0459 067 631
Events are held at various locations within the Wyndham and Hobsons Bay area and commence at 9.00 a.m. The program is usually finished within an hour, and minimal numbers of officials are required.
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.
All children from Under 6 to Under 15 may participate. Distances run at Werribee are:
| Age group | Distance |
| Under 6-8 | 1000 metres |
| Under 9-10 | 1500 metres |
| Under 11-12 |
2000 metres |
| Under 13-15 | 3000 metres |
The season consists of approximately 12 inter-club meetings plus Regional and State finals. These finals are held for Under 9 to Under 15 age groups. Additionally, special invitation events are held:
- at Regional level for Under 6 to Under 8 age groups, and
- at State level for Under 7 and Under 8 age groups
Summer season WLAC registration also covers athletes for the Cross Country season. However, new members are welcome to join WLAC during the Cross Country season for a small registration fee.
