GLAC welcomes Little Athletics Members to register to participate in the Geelong Winter/Cross-Country Program for 2026.
Important - Registration via this event portal is only available if you have previously paid an LAVic registration and insurance fee of either $89 (Full season) or $55 (winter season only). The LAVic registration and insurance fee must have been paid before you attend competition / training. If you are yet to pay this fee, please do so here first prior to paying the program fee.
Event details
Program events are conducted in and around the Geelong region for age groups and distances listed below:
U6 Boys & Girls - 500m
U7- U8 Boys & Girls - 1000m
U9 - U10 Boys & Girls - 1500m
U11 - U12 Boys & Girls - 2000m

Program Fee
$40 per participating athlete. Members of the same family account (email) can be registered within the same transaction.
IMPORTANT: As a courtesy to event organisers: if you have registered after 5pm prior to a round of XC - you must provide a copy of your receipt as evidence of payment as final athlete lists will have already been prepared.
All LAVic Members are required to wear both their Registration bib and Coles badge during each competition round as part of the State and National Sponsorship agreements. You may be asked to provide your registration number during the application process.
If you are not sure of your bib number, please refer to either the number under the barcode on your registration bib or the initial initial registration payment receipt, which also includes the number (receipt example below)
