Our 2026 season is coming to a close as we transition into the summer athletics season. Our next cross‑country season will commence in April 2027.
If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please reach out via our socials or email.

Stay active over winter and join the Bendigo Harriers for a fun, social cross‑country season suitable for all ages and abilities.
Explore the bush tracks in and around Bendigo with your choice of distance: 500m, 1km, 3km or 5–8km.
Our handicap system ensures a fair and enjoyable experience for runners/ walkers of all paces.
After each run, stick around for afternoon tea (supplied by members) and presentations — a great chance to connect with others and enjoy the community atmosphere.
