The XCR season runs from May to September, and SMAC has a strong tradition of participation! Events take place across Victoria and include both traditional cross-country races and road races, offering challenges for athletes of all abilities and ages.
How the XCR League System Works
Teams and Divisions: Teams compete in divisions based on gender and performance. The better a team does, the higher the division they can be promoted to the following season.
SMAC Teams in 2024:
- Women: Premier Division and Division 3
- Men: Division 2, Division 4, and Division 5
Masters Categories: If you’re 40+, 50+, or 60+, you’ll also compete within your age category alongside the open division races.
How Your Performance Counts: On race day, your finishing place contributes to your club’s results. The fastest SMAC runners will contribute to higher division scores, while everyone’s results help determine team rankings within their division.
Winter Season Relays
Relays are a big part of the XCR season, typically with 5 relay events on the schedule. To get involved in relay teams, make sure you’re a member of the relevant WhatsApp groups.
