Eliminator 4km - Geelong
South Geelong, Australia • 13 Sep 2026
TriLending Eliminator at John Landy Athletic Field
The event is an eliminator format held at John Landy Athletic Field in South Geelong. It features three distances run as part of a staged competition where initial races determine qualification for a final short race.
Distances
- 4 km
- 3 km
- 2 km
All entrants run both the 4 km and 3 km races. Those two races use sealed handicaps and runners will be re-handicapped according to current form. To reduce congestion on the track, runners will be started in waves. The 4 km and 3 km races are conducted as time trials, and placings in those individual races do not determine qualification for the 2 km final.
Combined times from the 4 km and 3 km races are used, then handicaps are applied to identify the 20 runners who will compete in the 2 km final. The 2 km final uses a normal handicap start.
After the races there will be presentation of the season awards, including the Sealed Series and the Championships. A short annual general meeting will follow the presentation. The start and finish for the event are located at John Landy Athletic Field, 230 Swanston Street, South Geelong 3220. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
