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

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

Entry Fee: $30 for Base/Qrun members, $20 for Gold/ANQ members, $0 Platinum members
