IT’S ON THIS WEEKEND – ATHLETICS ESSENDON PRESENTATION DAY!!
XCR ROUND 1 AT HANGING ROCK, May 10
Perfect Autumn weather greeted our cross-country runners for round one of the 25/26 season. The Hanging Rock venue is both picturesque & tough at the same time but our Athletics Essendon athletes showed that a few logs, kangaroos & hills can’t keep them down! With 32 athletes making their way to the Macedon Ranges, we are thrilled to celebrate many crazy fast times & top 10 finishes
