With the individual 12km returning to St Anne’s Winery in Myrniong for 2025, the course this year will start in the same location as 2024’s Ekiden Relay located below the Tasting & Function Rooms.
With sweeping landscapes and beautiful scenery, St Anne’s Myrniong promises to offer participants the opportunity to play their part in the club relay, followed by a well-deserved aperitif by enjoying the best of the venue’s local produce afterwards. Coffee, snacks, pizza it’s all happening this weekend. And if you’re keen to grab a table post (or pre?!) race, contact St. Anne’s by calling +61 3 5368 7209.

Bibs & Uniform
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.
