This is awarded to the best overall team performance at the conclusion of Victorian Track & Field Championships.
XCR COMPETITION
The XCR series takes place from April to September and targets cross country and road racing runners. XCR provides athletes with the opportunity to compete across various distances from 3km through to half-marathons. There are a number of relay rounds which enable you to team up with your friends and race around some fantastic scenic courses.
XCR is held across various metropolitan and regional areas, which allow for a fun team day out. As with the track & field season, the XCR series also splits the club into teams based on age.
If you are planning on competing in more than 5 rounds of XCR we recommend purchasing the Athletics Victoria XCR Package. If you intend to compete in BOTH the XCR and AVSL seasons we recommend purchasing the Athletics Victoria Max Package.
