Good luck to all Belconnen LAC runners tomorrow. Have walked, I mean waded through, the course this afternoon and it is MUDDY! Lots of fun though, you will all have the best time!

Tomorrow, 58 incredible athletes will proudly pull on the ACT colours as they take to the start line at the 2026 Australian Athletics Cross Country Championships in Ballarat. 💙💛

Months of training, dedication and determination have led to this moment. From the youngest competitors to our experienced athletes, each has earned the opportunity to represent Team ACT on one of Australia's most iconic cross country courses.

Ballarat is renowned for its challenging terrain, unpredictable conditions, plenty of mud and the excitement of racing against the nation's best.

To every Team ACT athlete—race hard, support one another, embrace the challenge and most importantly, enjoy the experience. We couldn't be prouder of you all.

Good luck, Team ACT! 💙💛
