Next Saturday YRA holds the last Cross Country event for our 2024 season, at Morrison Reserve. Who will be the champions? The podium will be out, and medals presented to the first three athletes in each age group. This will also be the last chance to get a PB too! See you there.
Yarra Ranges Athletics will have two athletes competing at the Australian Cross Country Championships next weekend. Bria Keyser and Daniel Groves will travel to Launceston, Tasmania to test themselves against Australia’s best on what looks like a fast, reasonably flat course.
Training for all club members is at Morrison Reserve on Tuesday evenings from 5.30pm and Thursdays from 5.30pm at the Victoria Road Primary School gym. Yarra Ranges Athletics welcomes and encourages all athletes of any age or ability. New members and anyone interested in trialling are always welcome.
