About The Victorian Cross Country League

Established in 1933, the Victorian Cross Country League (VCCL) has a long and proud tradition of fostering competitive running in Victoria. While our origins are rooted in promoting distance running and camaraderie, the VCCL has evolved to align with the state’s premier running calendar while maintaining its core commitment to team spirit and athletic excellence.

Competing in the XCR Season

Today, the VCCL is a key competitor in Athletics Victoria’s (AV) XCR season, participating in a wide array of cross country and road events across the state. We provide a structured and supportive pathway for runners looking to push their limits and compete for team success.

Our club currently fields teams across four divisions:

Club Culture and Community

The VCCL is more than just a running club; it is a close-knit community. We pride ourselves on the support and encouragement shared between members, from our seasoned veterans to runners new to the XCR season. Joining the VCCL means gaining a dedicated network of teammates as you tackle some of Victoria’s most challenging and scenic courses.

Our mission is to combine competitive drive with an inclusive, rewarding experience for every member. We invite you to experience the rich heritage and bright future of the VCCL.
