Join us for the fourth annual North Queensland Cross Country Championships at the new courses in the future Whitsunday Regional Sports Precinct, opposite Brandy Creek Road—conveniently located halfway between Proserpine and Airlie Beach.
This premier event features eight exciting races across diverse age groups, with distances ranging from 1km for the youngest juniors to 10km for open and senior categories, plus a 6km team relay (three members, each running 2km laps, with at least one woman per team). Courses blend varied surfaces, elevations, bends, and long straights, offering spectator-friendly vantage points.
Open to all competitors aged 4 to 100, whether entering as individuals or representing your club. Age categories are based on your age on event day.
Hosted by the Whitsunday Running Club on behalf of Athletics North Queensland.
