Saturday, 14 Apr 2018, 14:00 to 15:00: Maiden and Perston club races, and official opening of the harrier season, Grenada North Park ×
Updated 7 Apr 2018.

Times:

1200: Help set up course

1400: First race (kids)


Info

Our first club races for the season - the Maiden and Perston. There will be four races: two for the younger kids (700m and 1km), the Maiden (2km cross country for those who have never won a race before) and the Perston Memorial (2km cross country - same course as the Maiden, but for those who have won a trophy before). The course will be the same as last year's, at Grenada North Park.

We will need club members to help set up the course beforehand and pack it away afterwards - many hands make light work!

The Maiden and Perston Memorial races are sealed handicap - the club handicapper has predictions of everyone's times, and the handicap winners are those who beat their handicap times by the greatest margins. 

The first trophies of the year are up for grabs too - awarded to both race winners and handicap winners. 

These races will be followed by afternoon tea at the clubrooms. please bring a plate to share.

And one other thing - these races serve as trials for the Shaw Baton interclub relays held at Battle Hill later in April.

Saturday, 21 Apr 2018, 13:00 to 14:30: Wellington Mountain Running Champs, Wainuiomata ×
Updated 5 Apr 2018.

Instead of a club run, we are encouraging all members - juniors, seniors and masters - to join in the Wellington Mountain Running Champs.

There is a new course for 2018, as they are hoping to use this for the NZ Mountain Runnning Champs next year. This also means that they can offer U15 and U11 courses for the kids. They are also using the new Wellington masters men grade (M35-49 instead of M40-49). Here are the race times. 

We won King Club of the Mountain last year. We would like to try for the Queen Club this year too.

Entries are now open: enter here
