Queensland Running is bringing a special cross country program to the South Burnett next weekend and runners of all ages and abilities are invited to take part.<\/p>\n

There’ll be events ranging in length from 500 metres to 8000 metres starting at 11:30am (see program below<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Entry is free however entries close on Friday (April 15) to assist with organisation.<\/p>\n

School-aged athletes from across the region have already been invited to take part.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett meet will be held in the parklands adjacent to Tipperary Flat at Nanango.<\/p>\n

The shortest distance, 500m, will be a Fun Walk for parents, or just for people wanting a little bit more exercise.<\/p>\n

There will also be two “combined start” runs: 3000\/5000 metres and 4000\/6000\/8000 metres.<\/p>\n

These combined lengths enable competitors to drop back to a shorter distance if they are tiring or continue on for a longer distance if they’re running well.<\/p>\n

Runners can take part in as many events as they wish on the day.<\/p>\n

A free sausage sizzle will be held for all runners at the end of the meet.<\/p>\n
