TriLending Eliminator at John Landy Athletic Field
The event is a multi-stage cross country meeting held at John Landy Athletic Field in South Geelong on September 13, 2026. It features three distances:
- 4 km
- 3 km
- 2 km
All competitors run both the 4 km and 3 km races, which are conducted with sealed handicaps and runners are re-handicapped to reflect current form. To reduce track congestion the 4 km and 3 km races start in waves. These two races are treated as time trials, so finishing placings do not determine qualification for the final.
Combined times from the 4 km and 3 km, with handicaps applied, are used to select the 20 runners who will contest the 2 km final. The 2 km is held with a standard handicap start among those qualifiers.
After the competition there is a presentation of the season awards, including the Sealed Series and the Championships, followed by a short annual general meeting. The published event location is 230 Swanston Street, South Geelong 3220, at the John Landy Athletic Field. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
