The 2026 Australian Athletics Cross Country Championships were held in Ballarat over the weekend. Despite the wet and muddy conditions, spirits were high at our Victoria Park course.

Australian Athletes stated "It has been a bumper year for entries in the Championships, with participation up 10 percent across the board. There also has been massive growth in the junior categories, with girls U11 and U12 entry lists growing by 40 percent."

Congratulations to our amazing athletes. Some great individual, team and relay results achieved over the weekend 👏 and it was great to see some of our junior athletes combine with athletes from other clubs to compete in the mixed 4 x 2km relays.

Below are all athletes and teams that finished top 10 in their age group, well done to everyone who competed in the mud
