The 2026 South East Queensland Cross Country Series gets underway on Sunday 26 April, with 11 rounds running through to July. Cross country is open to all registered members across all age groups and abilities — no prior experience needed.
Events typically run between 2pm and 5pm on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Check the Queenlsland Athletics page for official race start times.
TEES are the defending club champions and are looking to back it up in 2026. The more members who get out and race, the better our collective points tally.
Club awards eligibility: Participating in at least three rounds qualifies you for TEES annual cross country awards, presented at the AGM.
