The address is 163 Albert Road, Healesville. Arrival from 10am and activities include a fun and unusual relay race and a BBQ presentation. The cost for the day is only $10 per family and that includes mini golf, Frisbee golf and of course the MONSTER maze!!

Hi CLAC Families,

The cross country season continued down at Coldstream for the Yarra Ranges handicap day.

We had blue skies as we headed to the course but the wind was still cold and the course itself was quite water logged from all the recent rain. The handicap system gave everybody an even chance of finishing first in their age group. A big thank you to the Yarra Ranges team for crunching all the times to give every athlete a chance of victory.

Hello again CLAC families,

Well with the season winding down now just a reminder that this Saturday is handicap day and it is being held at Marg Lewis reserve at Coldstream. Just a reminder that you need to have run at least 5 times this season in your age/distance to be eligible. Warm Ups start at 8.45am.

This week was a big week and what our athletes had been working toward all season. On Saturday it was the State Cross Country Championships and it was held at Cruden Farm at Langwarrin. This historical site brought out the most challenging running conditions. There was icy wind, mud and not to mention cow patties!!

Our Athletes were fantastic and did our club proud. I was honoured to watch outstanding efforts that you all should be extremely delighted with.  Here are the results:

I just want to say that everyone involved from this club should be very proud of what was achieved on the weekend at Doncaster. The results were fantastic from all our athletes and I couldn’t be happier with what you all achieved. Thank you once again to all the parents out at the meet with you all helping out and doing such a marvellous job things went tremendously smoothly. The amount of fun and smiles had by everyone of our club was amazing.
