General Event Guidance

Bald Hill Park is anti clockwise course configuration – if you want to walk the course you can do so (not required) from 8.10am to 8.25am. Alternatively you can use the approx start times below to gauge your arrival, and be ready to race. If you have entered for the Bayside XC season just listen for your race to be called. Don’t forget, you will need your Commbank Chest Patch to be scanned at the finish line and receive your time! No patch, no result.

If you are LAVic registered and financial athlete casual runner or athlete doing XC trial please come to the tent at start/finish line to sign in.

We have found that u7-u12 events work best with approx max of 40-50 athletes in an individual race. So, the actual number of races and therefore start times of subsequent events will depend on the turn out on the day.
