Cross Country (Out Of Stadium)

Winter Cross Country Competitions

Winter competition is conducted on Saturday mornings, April to September, at different venues around Hobart commencing at 10.00 a.m.  

Courses are varied and interesting and include smooth scenic runs as well as challenging adventurous terrain.    Two distances are on offer each week - the short races are between 3km and 5km and the long races between 5k and and 10km.  

 Cross Country attracts participants of all ages and abilities and is conducted in a relaxed manner where runners of state and national standard run along side primary school age athletes and veterans.  Handicap races are conducted during the season.  These are keenly contested as everyone has a chance of winning a major trophy for the best results over the five races.
