Saturday Metro Program

The Saturday Metro Program (incorporating the Junior League) is for people of all ages and abilities. School age participants, families, and newcomers are particularly welcome. Events are held May to August in bushland, parkland and pine forest venues close to Canberra.

Three to four courses (one of very easy standard, one of easy standard, and one or two of moderate standard) will normally be offered, with lengths ranging typically from 2 to 5 km. While the program is designed to offer juniors the opportunity to run courses suited to their needs, adults, especially women, are most welcome. Mentors will be present to assist newcomers, both juniors and adults.

Junior League

A Junior League, based on the results of all 16 events, will be conducted, with competitors being awarded points on placings on their course. The best 12 scores of each competitor will be counted towards age class awards.

Start times are between 10.30am and 12.00pm. All courses close at 1pm.
