The Willandra XC venue, located off Brown's Mountain Road, hosts this event. It's a low-key cross country run organized by Victory Runners, allowing participants to "trial the Willandra XC venue" prior to the State Championships in June. This event feels more like a runner's shakedown than a large production, with a simple "open invitation to anyone" seeking to get some miles in.
All participants begin together, creating a club cross-country atmosphere where fast runners, steady grinders, and first-timers share the same pre-race anticipation. The event's appeal is practical: arrive, register, run the course, and leave with a better understanding of the venue than when you arrived.
