::[General details]::

Athletics Wellington in partnership with the Karori Athletics Club, Olympic Harriers, Upper Hutt Athletics Club and WHAC is running a Kids Cross Country series over the winter months.

There are cross country races for those aged from year 3 through to year 10. We're encouraging kids to get a couple of friends together to form school or sports club teams (3 per team). There are individual and team awards with certificates for individuals and teams placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd. And at the end of the four cross country races there will be medals for teams and individuals based on the three best placings over the series. So enter at least 3 events and you're in with a chance!

The cost is $5 per child for each event. If kids enter at least 5 days prior to the event they will get their own personalised race bib to keep as well. For the Cross Country race at Karori Park make sure you enter before the 25th of June. You can enter and pay online at www.athleticshub.co.nz or a registration form is attached which has further info including race times and distances. The first race starts at 10.30am, and the last race at 12pm.

You can register on the day from 9am, but if you'd like that personalised race bib then make sure you register early.

If you have any questions let Jo Murray know. We're looking forward to running more events with other clubs in the future too. In summary the details are:
