The Bendigo Bats athletics team have made a flying start to Athletics Victoria’s XCR ’21 series in Saturday’s cross-country action at Jells Park. A group of 36 represented Flack Advisory Services Group-backed Athletics Bendigo. Bendigo was victorious in the men’s open division two and also raced to second place in the overall standings with what is considered the region's strongest men's open relay team for a long time.
A start in the Gold Coast Marathon is on the mind of Bendigo distance running star Andy Buchanan. Less than a fortnight after a stellar fifth placing in the Zatopek 10,000m at Box Hill, Buchanan said a marathon debut is being considered by him and coach Scott Westcott.
Hot favourites Andy Buchanan and Ellie Pashley reigned supreme in the feature events in the Bendigo Harriers inaugural 5km Frenzy at the Flack Advisory Services Group-backed Bendigo Region Athletics Track. The elite men’s race capped a great night of athletics action in which Bendigo Harriers teamed with City of Greater Bendigo as part of the Summer in the Parks calendar.

Here organiser of 5K Frenzy, Brett Gilligan, shares his preview of the event, which is well supported by athletes from Bendigo and across regional Victoria.
