Please come to the Doncaster LAC table each week so we can record your child’s attendance and you can collect results tickets for the previous weeks run.

Uniforms

In the Winter we put our Doncaster clubs rivalry aside and run under the Doncaster Centre banner.

Athletes must compete in the Doncaster Uniform (NOT THEIR CLUB UNIFORM). Uniforms will be available at the venues from 9am for the first few weeks of the cross-country season, after that by arrangement with the co-ordinator Deb Caldwell.

This season we have:

  • singlets for $35
  • green shorts for $17
  • knee length skins for $20 (ankle length leggings in beige or black may also be worn with NO visible logos).
  • Polar fleece vests $35
  • Spray jackets $48

Note that both the polar Fleece and the Spray Jackets are available in adult’s sizes!

All registration is now online.
