The State Teams event only, will be conducted concurrent with the individual event at the State Cross-Country Championships.
Due to restrictions advised in the RAD’s for Victoria (released on June 3, 2021) and the settings for which community Sport can recommence, it has been decided that the Region Cross Country Carnivals cannot proceed in 2021 with any degree of confidence or certainty, as a result the Region Cross Country Carnivals have been cancelled and the State Championships will become a direct entry event.
