Wellington Cross Country Champs - Saturday 14 July 9 Jul 2012.
These are the races that determine the Wellington Cross Country Champions for 2012 (naturally!) The course at Waikanae Park is demanding, with a mix of flat grass, hills, mud and jumps. This year we will miss out the high point that was in the course last year.
This year we also return to our club's normal schedule of this being separate from the Olympic cross country champs, which will be held a couple of weeks later.
The Wellington champs are the third event that counts for the Olympic interclub points competition – which determines the club's highest overall achievers – and the incentive points competition. It also counts for the club representative badge, awarded to those who finish in the counting team in four out of five interclub races.
As other interclub races, you must wear your Wellington timing chip. If you have lost yours or forget to bring it, please see Malcolm or the race organisers to get a replacement. If you do not have a chip you will not get a time!
Note also that the race start times have changed slightly, and the distances for the youngest grades are also different. See times and distances.
