Corroboree Athletics was out in force at the 2026 Short Course Cross Country Championships at the Stromlo Cross Country Facility on 17 May. The blue and gold colours were everywhere across the course, especially in the club relay where Corroboree made up four of the five teams competing.

With crisp autumn weather, beautiful autumn colours around Stromlo, and kangaroos keeping watch nearby, it was a fantastic day for cross country racing. Our athletes delivered some excellent performances across all age groups, highlighted by several individual wins and strong relay results.

We were also delighted to welcome two new members, Nathaniel and Alejandro, to Corroboree Athletics.

Congratulations to all our runners on a great day of racing and team spirit!
