We meet at various locations<\/a> around the Knox area.

\nIt’s lots of fun for athletes and parents.<\/p>\n

Join in!<\/h2>\n

Knox Athletes<\/b>: If you were registered with Knox LAC for Track and Field this season, you are already registered for Cross Country. Nothing to pay. Just bring your current number patch and be ready to run!<\/p>\n

New Athletes<\/b>: If you haven’t done Cross Country before, come and give it a try! Come to an event<\/a> and see one of our volunteers at the registration\/recording desk. For information about joining up, see the Register page.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other Centres<\/b>: Registered athletes from other LAVic centres are welcome to participate at normal meets. Just bring your current number patch and check-in at the registration\/recording desk so athlete details can be recorded.<\/p>\n

Family Duty<\/strong>: Little athletics does not happen without the help of volunteers. Knox families are asked to do duty at two or three meets during the Cross Country season. Sherbrooke and Waverly should both fill one duty position each week. Families from other centres are also encouraged to do duty. Duty may include course marshalling, timing, ticketing or helping out in the canteen. Families that do not do duty, risk their child\/ren missing out on Knox Championship Day at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Training<\/strong>: See the Winter Cross Country<\/a> coaching page.<\/p>\n
