Athletics Wellington Cross Country Championships.

Olympic are hosting this event, so we ask that all club members assist with setting out the course, marshalling, or support duties as their race times permit. This is our dress rehearsal for hosting the National Champs here in August.

Note that the draft version of the 2018 Athletics Wellington calendar indicated that this event would be on Sunday 15th. We have since changed this to the 14th, so we can compete on a Saturday like all other interclub events.

Saturday, 28 Jul 2018, 13:00 to 16:00: Club cross country champs, Bryant's Farm, Boom Rock Road, Ohariu Valley ×
Updated 26 Jul 2018.

Club cross country champs. Races for all ages from juniors through to masters.

We are returning to where club champs were held back in the day.  The course will be different from the Grand Memorial, based around 1.8 km loops that will include a bit of a hill and fewer streams. The kids run a reduced 1km lap as we take the hill out for them. There is a trophy in each age group for both the winner and handicap winner, plus second and third get recorded with certificates - so it's all on! 


Please bring a plate for the afternoon tea at the clubrooms after the races. 

Be aware there may be no parking at the Pony Club paddocks due to wet ground, so parking will probably beon the road - take care as it is narrow in places.
