Newcastle Cross Country 17: Dungog Common 2026

Dungog Common hosts this event, a cross-country run on open ground in the Hunter Region. The 17th round has a weekly-club atmosphere instead of a large-event polish. It's part of the Newcastle Cross Country Club’s Saturday afternoon series, so expect a functional setup and runners familiar with the format. The course is trail, described as a "rugged course blending dirt and mud," with varied terrain requiring patience and balance. It is open to runners aged 6 and older, of all paces and abilities. Club membership is required, and you nominate your race during weekly registration. Expect dirt on your shoes, cool winter running, and a field focused on racing.
