In the 2024/25 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 2024/25 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’24 event and/or lose team points for a particular competition.

Athletes are required to marshal for their event no later than five 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.

Open Male & Female, U20 Male & Female, U18 Male & Female, U16 Male & Female, U14 Male & Female.

Coffee Events will be on site selling coffee, muffins, and snacks on the day.

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