Event information
First contested in the club's inaugural year, 1926, the CHAC 5-mile Cross Country Championships has become the anticipated event of the winter calendar. Champions of the club have battled it out for the coveted blue sash including past greats of the Victorian and Australian athletic community. Do you have what it takes to get your name immortalised on our fabled honour boards?
Entry is free and open to all (including non-members) but only currently signed up members are eligible for the club champion honours.
