Hello Collingwood Cross Country Crew and parents!!!

The Cross Country season has been super good so far with 2 events down and lots more to go!

We have had solid turn outs at the Box Hill and Nunawading events, with heaps of seasoned members, fresh faced trials and new XC athletes. The weather has been incredible and everyone in the Collingwood XC Crew is really into it, so we encourage you all to check out the calendar on the CLAC10 website and see if you can make a race.  

Box Hill Open Day

Parents should have just received an invite to the Box Hill Open Day event on the 1 June. Parents need to nominate and pay a small registration fee of $12 for this race as it is separate from the regular EMR races. Registrations close on the 30/5 so if you are going to enter, please don’t forget to register through the Results HQ portal link you were emailed,  as they don’t have walk ups on the day.

State Relays – Interest

Cross Country State Relay Championships are on the 31st May at Cruden Farm. We need to enter teams by this Thursday morning so if there any athletes in the U9-U17 age groups who would like to run in this event then please email us by Tuesday 20th May PM so we have time to make teams. There is no guarantee of entry as we need to have 3 runners in each age/gender  to make up a team, however we will do our best. Once we know all the interested athletes on Tuesday PM we will get back to interested athletes later in the week about teams/entry.

Photos

We are trying to document the amazing runs by our athletes each week and put them up on Team App so everyone in the club can see how awesome cross country is! If any parents are good photographers or have taken snaps they would like to share then email to crosscountry@clac10.org.au and we will get them up on the Team App Gallery.

Cheers,

Andrew
