There are no qualifying standards – everyone is welcome. Our aim is to provide a safe and enjoyable, yet challenging, cross country experience for all athletes while also providing a pathway for athletes to progress within the sport.

The championships also act as a selection trial for the Queensland Athletics Team which will compete at the 2024 Australian Cross Country Championships.

Championship medals are awarded to individuals and teams in each age group.

ALL SCHOOLS - $15 per student (Base/Qrun member), $10 (Gold member), free for Platinum members

SHORT COURSE - $30 (Base/Qrun member), $20 (Gold member), free for Platinum members

On the day: As you will need bib numbers for this event you will need to check in at the QA Information area. Plan to be at the venue with enough time to collect your bib, get a feel for the course area and warm up. Be at the start area 15 minutes before your actual start time.
