Welcome to the winter season with Caulfield Little Athletics.  As a registered and financial member your registration offers you insurance and membership to compete in the winter months the track events are not operating, which includes the option to also run during the winter. Caulfield Little Athletics forms part of the Bayside Cross Country Program, a collection of Centres within the Bayside suburbs that compete at alternate venues on a weekly basis during April to August. Details regarding the program are available HERE.
