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.

The cross country season runs from April to August, with weekly events held on Saturday mornings at venues across the West, from Wyndham to Newport to Altona to Brimbank.

Existing members have Cross Country membership included in their 2025/26 membership. New members can pay a reduced price Cross Country membership.
