Please Note for 2021: Master’s distances have been modified to encourage participation and provide all competitors to score club points. If athletes wish to compete across longer distances, they can still do so. To enter longer distances, competitors must enter as an open athlete for the season’s duration. Alternatively, you can enter individual rounds. Entering by these methods allow participants to compete over longer distances if they wish to do so. W50+ and M60+ can contribute team points to the open age group however won’t contribute to W50+ and M60+ if athletes compete in the open distances. If W50+ and M60+ wish to contribute to their W50+ M60+ teams they must compete in their specified age group championship distance as outlined in the event listings. If you are in the W50+ and M60+ age category and wish to enter the open age group events, please contact the Sport Delivery Team prior to the closing date of each round at [email protected] Athletics Victoria XCR Handbook 2021 4 Athletics Victoria XCR Handbook 2021 5
Information Update AS AT 19 MAY 2021
Following the announcement on 13 May 2021 from Athletics Victoria CEO Glenn Turnor, please note that adjustments have been made to the Women’s 50+ and Men’s 60+ distances. Please be advised that the distances featured on each event page will remain in place as short course options however for the individual and Team Championships, points will now be awarded in the longer distances in line with what was offered in XCR 2019 as follows:

We will continue to offer the shorter distances currently outlined in the XCR21 Handbook on each of the event pages for Women’s 50+ and Men’s 60+. An XCR21 Women’s 50+ and Men’s 60+ Invitational Teams Championships for the shorter distances will be determined at the end of the season if sufficient participants have completed the events from Clubs (minimum three Clubs).
What this means for Women’s 50+ and Men’s 60+ • Members that have purchased an XCR or Max Package in both Women’s 50+ and Men’s 60+ will be automatically entered into the Open Distances. • Individuals in W50+ and M60+ competing in the same distances as Open Men and Women will be eligible to score team points in Open, 40+ and 50+ for both men and women and 60+ for men. • Members in Women’s 50+ and Men’s 60+ that wish to compete in the shorter distances will need to elect to do so by emailing Athletics Victoria via [email protected] before the closing date for each round of XCR21. If an election is not made by this time, members will be entered into the Open distances. • Members in Women’s 50+ and Men’s 60+ who compete in the shorter distances will be eligible for XCR21 Invitational medals at those XCR21 events currently identified in the handbook as Championships events.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have purchased an XCR or Max Package you do not need to enter events via the portal. 60+ Men and 50+ Women athletes that have purchased an XCR or Max Package, and wish to complete the short course, please ensure that you email [email protected] prior to entries closing at 11:59 am (midday) on each of the respective closing dates.
