Glenhuntly Athletic Club – Latest News

Glenhuntly Athletic Club wrapped up the 2025 winter cross XCR season with a celebration following the final relay round at The Tan on Saturday 20 September. The event capped off months of commitment and teamwork. Despite sometimes experiencing lower than usual turnouts this season for our men’s Premier and Women’s Premier teams, the club held on to its Premier status by the end of the season and there were some outstanding performances by our members across all age groups.

The club gathered afterwards to present its Winter Season Awards, recognising excellence, consistency, and contribution throughout the XCR calendar.
