There were many exceptional performances across the three distances from our incredible Athletics Essendon athletes. As always, full results can be found on the Results Hub.

After the first two rounds, Athletics Essendon is sitting in the top three positions across many of the age-group ladders – amazing work! Keep taking it up to them, legends!

Round 3 of the XCR season is just around the corner, taking place on June 7 at Jells Park for the Cross Country Relays. Hopefully, any interested athletes have already submitted their interest to their respective Team Managers. Teams will be released later this week – good luck to everyone!
