Athletics Victoria XCR 10: Tan Relays 2026

From the Pillars of Wisdom, the relay route directs participants onto Melbourne's Tan Track, winding through the Botanical Gardens and Kings Domain. Athletics Victoria XCR 10: Tan Relays marks the final event of the 2025 XCR season, carrying the characteristic atmosphere of late winter: club tents, fatigued runners, and individuals aiming for personal bests. The circuit is a notable one, recognized by runners for the many local and international distance-running athletes who have previously pushed their limits here. This is not a casual event; athletes and top competitors compete against the clock and their rivals, with the finish line feeling more intense as the entire XCR season has led up to this final round.
