A date has been saved for the 2020 NSW XC Championships, which is aimed to be held over the two days of the weekend of Saturday, 10th October, and Sunday, 11th October. The event locations will again be at the Dapto Integral Energy Park, home of the Kembla Joggers Club, and we thank them for their support of the event once again this year.

This event will take place if the current recommendations from the NSW Government, regarding regional travel for State Championship sporting events, are lifted by NSW Health. We anticipate an update from NSW Health in the new NSW Public Health Order, scheduled to be updated on Thursday, 1st October.

We will send a communication regarding the outcome of this to all our members as soon as the update is announced.

All athletes who have entered the event do not need to re-register for the XC Championships.

Further details regarding the event, including a full 2-day timetable, will be made available to all competitors soon.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and we look forward to bringing you the next update regarding the events as soon as we possibly can.
