Queensland Running Cross Country Series 9

Huxtable Park shapes this round: grass, parkland, and enough natural undulations to feel like proper club cross country without becoming a slog. Round 9 of the Queensland Running Cross Country Series sits inside the annual Autumn and Winter series, with a practical rather than flashy atmosphere: pin on, warm up, race on varied surfaces, then clear the chute. Underfoot it is a classic cross country experience, with small changes in camber and grip doing more work than any significant climb. Experienced club runners use it for honest racing, beginners find it accessible, and families or non-competitive participants take on the Fun and Fitness Walk. It is a community-friendly setting, yet still rewarding if you like a course that asks you to maintain your rhythm over grass instead of simply cruising on road.
