Event information

This event has passed.










To ensure the health and safety of all our athletes, spectators, and workforce, the 2020 NSW XC Relay Championships have been cancelled.

The original Miranda Park course was not suitable to meet the NSW Health COVID protocols. Various alternate locations were explored, and unfortunately, none are available and/or suitable to deliver the XC Relays event in the current environment.

With that said,
the Athletics NSW Team are working very hard to be able to deliver an alternate relays event, and are currently looking at logistics for delivery of this event. At this stage, no details can be confirmed, however as soon as we are able to lock in a suitable venue, date/timetable, and other logistics, we will let our entire database know as soon as possible all relevant details of this event.

We thank you for your continued understanding during these trying times, and we hope to bring you a positive update regarding the replacement relays event very shortly.

Yours in Athletics,

Athletics NSW
