Venue: Trentham Memorial Park

Details:

This is a great 5-lap relay race, traditionally for the more senior of members of the club. It's mostly on flat grass at Trentham Memorial Park (saves our somewhat older joints a bit).

Categories/prizes for men, women, mixed, teams with aggregate ages of 250 and 300 or more.

There is a walkers event too which covers 3 laps of the 4km course as opposed to 5 laps for runners.

The event has a ‘pre-vet’ category which allows teams to have a member in the 30-34 yr age group and also an open category for teams with members less than 30 yrs of age. So basically it’s an all comers event. Entries need to be in by May 5th.

Contact Tineke Hooft if you want to run.
