2025 On XCR: Round 6 – Ballarat State XCR Championships

Access the Athletics Victoria Entry Portal (members.athsvic.org.au) and complete the online entry form by close of entry date. As per 2023, XCR & Max Package purchasers will need to enter each individual event throughout the season – entries will be free of charge – this will assist in planning for all events. Open athletes will also be able to enter the Early Starters and Masters athletes to enter the Short Course events when held.

Individual Entries

*Any competing athlete who is neither a member of an Athletics Victoria club or recreational running club.

All marquees must be secured by weights. The marquee zones are noted below and will be marked on the day.

In the 2025/26 season, there will be no cloth bibs issued. We are committed to reducing our footprint on the environments we use. Your new timing bibs are now made from hardier material, designed to last the whole season – XCR and track! So please ensure you care for your bibs, e.g. do not machine wash, do not fold. Lost or damaged bibs will incur a new bib fee.

All registered athletes are required to wear the approved uniform of their athletics club, or its heritage variant. Non-Athlete AV members are to wear appropriate athletic clothing.

All athletes must wear their allocated 2025/26 AV Membership on their front and back, the smaller bib with the timing chip (foam sticker on the back) to be worn on the front. Non-compliance with the above may see disqualification.

If you are a non-Athlete AV member you are to wear your assigned temporary bibs at the race, if these are not worn you may not receive a finishing time or may be removed from the course.

Replacement Bibs

If you have lost or forgotten your bibs, please see the staff at administration, where you will be able to purchase a temporary or full replacement set.

Please note that bib sales at this event will be cashless. Only card payments will be taken.

Clubs must provide helpers in accordance with the duty roster.

Any club who fails to supply Club Helpers may face disqualification for an XCR’25 event and/or lose team points for a particular competition.

Athletes are required to marshal for their event no later than ten minutes prior to their allocated start line.

Presentations will be carried out following the verification of results for each event.

If you have finished in the top three in any of the following events please ensure that you are available for presentation – located adjacent to the finish area.

Please take any rubbish you have with you or use the available rubbish bins onsite.

In particular we ask that you keep all areas clear of energy gel waste, and ensure that any used packets are only discarded directly into a bin.

Results, including live results, XCR Team Championship ladders and XCR Individual Championship ladders will be published through out the XCR season on the Athletics Victoria ResultsHub webpage – https://athsvic.resultshub.com.au/

Colmed will be on site throughout the day. They will be situated at the start/finish line, and also situated out on the course during the event. If anyone needs first aid, please ask an official/club helper to radio through and first aid will be out to help.

Athletics Victoria has an Unfavourable Weather Policy in place for the upcoming 2025 On XCR season. Please note we will let athletes and team managers know any information regarding this before the day or make announcements on the morning of the event. Please listen out for these throughout the day for any extreme weather announcements.
