2013 Winter season non-track competition

Currently the Gippsland Athletics Club does not have any competing teams in the AV Winter Cross-Country series. However, our members are able to compete at most of the events in 1 of 2 ways - (1) Get a team organised (3-6 competitors, varies between events); (2) Compete as an individual (in the non-relay events). Either way, there are great benefits to you being a signed up member of the Gippsland Athletics Club for the full AV season (April 2013 - March 2014) rather than just the summer competition.

Round 2 - Saturday May 11th. A.V. Sandown 6km Road Relays
