Cross
Country is great for the kid's fitness and is a relaxed environment for both
the kids and the parents. Keilor Little
Athletics would love to see even more Keilor kids competing each week this
coming Cross Country season than we have had in previous years.
The cross
country season runs during autumn / winter and we compete on a weekly basis
against our Northern Metro "Division 1" friends from Essendon,
Sunbury,
Regular
Competition
Regular Cross Country competition is weekly,
normally held at Essendon,
Costs
There is no
extra cost for children currently registered for Little Aths,
apart from $1 a week to fund trophies etc.
There is an $35 registration
fee per athlete for those wanting to join for the first time.

Race
Distances
* Under 7s will start the season running 800m and progressively move up to
1000m a few weeks prior to regional championships.
500 metres for the U6's
*800m/1000m for the U7's
1 km for the U8's
1.5 Kms for the U 9's
and 10's
2 km for the U 11's and 12's; and
3 Km for the U 13’s plus kids.
Once again
the emphasis is just as much on achieving PB's and it's
amazing to see the difference in the results from the start to the end of the
season as the kids get fitter, more used to the tracks and runs.
