Cross Country Season

Running Cross Country is a great way to maintain your fitness over winter.  The Cross Country season starts in April and runs through to early August.

Please keep your chest patches from the summer season - they're needed for Cross Country.

Our Cross Country Coordinator for Season 2024 is Sophie Bourke - sophie.bourke@yahoo.com.au or 043 325 38 06

Saturday Cross Country events are run by Bayside Cross Country and Seaford Little Athletics, and are open to all U6-U17 Athletes.  

In addition to the regular Saturday competitions, there will be 3 LAVic XC events this season - State Cross Country Relays, Region Cross Country Carnivals and State Cross Country Championships.  All U9-U17 Mentone members from the previous season are eligible to participate in LAVic/Regional Cross Country events - you don't actually have to be registered for the Cross Country season to enter these special events.

Cross Country Relays are run in teams of 3 runners.  If your child is interested but you're not sure how to get a team together, please contact Sophie or mentone@lavic.com.au and we'll try to help.

Mentone is affiliated with both Bayside Cross Country and Seaford Cross Country for regular Saturday morning XC sessions:
