Cross Country course description (Crestwood Reserve)

After feedback from parents last year we modified the 1K course so the athletes were more visible during aspects of the event. The new course distance is ever so slightly over 1K. We have incorporated this 1K section into the 3K event.

From the start line (soccer field goal line), the course now navigates 3 sides of the soccer field before heading down past the tree with the X.
Runners then loop around 3 sides of the fenced bushland regeneration area in an anti clockwise direction.
At the top of the regeneration area, runners follow the path past the BBQ, then down the path (past the cricket nets), heading back onto the soccer field to loop back to the finish line.

The 2K and 3K courses remain similar to last year. However, with some modifications to bring more rises (small hills) into the course.

Each event starts similar to the 1K, however once at the tree with the X, runners head up the hill to the traffic cone (on cut down tree).
At the traffic cone they turn left and head past the BBQ to the path, run past the cricket nets, follow the path across the bridge, cutting the left hand corner and heading towards the skateboard park on the path and crossing the next bridge.
Over the bridge they turn right and follow the left hand path up a small rise crossing over the grassed area to the next bridge.
Over the bridge the athletes turn an immediate right and follow the tree line down past the creek bed joining the bottom path heading towards the playground and passing the Scout Hall where they follow the tree line to the path.
Follow the top path along to the BBQ area, then onto the path past the cricket nets onto the soccer field to the far corner post then running down the far sideline.
2K will finish after turning left, 3K will turn right and follow the 1K course.
The 3K and 4K finish incorporates a clockwise loop of the fenced bushland regeneration area before heading past the X tree, up the hill to the finish line across the soccer field.
