Cross Country Season Update
Dear members and families,
We regret to inform you that Newstead Athletics will not be hosting the Cross Country season or School Series this year.
This has been a very difficult decision. Our events rely entirely on volunteers, and despite our best efforts, we have not been able to fill the key roles needed to safely set up and run the season.
We know this is disappointing, and it is for us too. However, this is a pause, not the end. Newstead has a strong history, and we are committed to rebuilding our volunteer base so we can return to the trails in the future.
A sincere thank you to everyone who offered their time and support. It truly means a lot.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support of the club.

Congratulations to our amazing race walker Sam Lindsay. New record and world U20 Qualifying time!
MEET RECORD, GOLD, PB, U20QM!!!! 🤯
Sam Lindsay has set Lakeside Stadium on fire! After smashing the open state record earlier this year with 20:32.63, he’s taken it to a whole new level - clocking a phenomenal 20:07.71 for a huge new personal best leading from the front in windy conditions.
In the process, he wiped out Declan Tingay’s 2016 meet record of 20:11.80 and secured a World U20 qualifying mark. What a night! ⭐🥇
