There are no qualifying standards – everyone is welcome. Our aim is to provide a safe and enjoyable, yet challenging, cross country experience for all athletes while also providing a pathway for athletes to progress within the sport.

The championships also act as a selection trial for the Queensland Athletics Team which will compete at the 2024 Australian Cross Country Championships.

Championship medals are awarded to individuals and teams in each age group.
