Round 5
The cold, icy wind and frequent hail storms were not enough to deter Yarra Ranges and Croydon athletes from swarming upon Morrison Reserve on Saturday morning for round 5 of the Yarra Ranges Athletics cross country season.
Anyone of any ability or fitness is welcome to join in on Saturday mornings to enjoy running around some of the picturesque parklands in the Yarra Valley.
All well marked, well marshalled and friendly courses provide a fun, inclusive environment for families to enjoy running or supporting others.
Round 5 presented athletes with an opportunity for a personal best on the second outing around the new Morrison Reserve course. The recent rains produced a soggy course which slowed many athletes, but still over 50 finishers earning their choccie frog treat.
Knox Open Day
Next week our Little athletes are invited to the Knox Open Day at Jells Park. Athletes need to pre-register for this event with no on the day entries available. Entries close on Wednesday 19th may, check the website for more details.
There will be no Saturday morning cross country this weekend with all athletes encouraged to support the Knox Open Day, where we will attempt to retain the coveted champion club trophy.
