Olympic are hosting the NZ Cross Country Champs - one of the biggest cross country running event in the country. This is sure to attract some incredible runners, and will give us a chance to compete alongside the country's best.

All club members are encouraged to assist with setting up the course and / or event marshalling / support duties as their race time permits. We will be running a BBQ and baking stall to try to bring some money in for the club.
