Do your kids like running? Do they enjoy running across fields and in different scenery?

Werribee Little Athletics is hosting a Come and Try Cross Country morning for kids to have a go and find out more about this great Winter sport on Saturday 11 April at the new Fortitude Drive Reserve.

Cross Country is a chance for kids to see themselves improve each week as they get stronger, faster and more confident. It's a good way to build fitness for other sports as well as a lifelong enjoyment of running. Not ready to run the distance? - Kids start off at the speed that suits them and will surprise themselves as they quickly improve.

Kids will run distances linked to their age group.

• Under 6 (from 5 years) - 500 metres
• Under 7 and Under 8 - 1km
• Under 9 and Under 10 - 1.5km
• Under 11 and under 12 - 2km
• Under 13 to Under 17 - 3km

Come down and join in your age group race, watch others race and cheer them on. Arrive at 9.30am.
