Athletics West - ACC Cross Country Opportunity 16 August

The ACC has negotiated an opportunity with Athletics West for any ACC students to run in an all-comers 3km or 4km race at the State Cross Country Championships at Kings Park on Sunday 16^th August 7am-9am. Results from this event will be used by the ACC for our Virtual Cross Country to select our 2020 All Stars XC team. ACC students do not have to be a member of Athletics West to register for these events. 

ACC students will compete as individuals – this is not a SCHOOL team. Parent/guardian permission is required for registration and supervision at the event. The event is also open to multi-class PARA athletes who have a classification code with Athletics Australia.

If the student cannot make the event on the 16^th August then they need to contact Jake Trewin at Athletics West (contact below) and he will try and arrange an alternative event at one of the other upcoming Athletics West/Little Athletics cross country winter events. https://www.athleticswest.com.au/aw-events/winter/

Although the event is part of the Athletics West State Championships, the 3km and 4km all comers event for ACC students is not eligible for the State Championship.

All the details are listed below  and students need to register ASAP through Athletics West following the procedures below.
