The track will be well marked with race flags, the races timed and we will hold a prizegiving at the end. We will need some parents/teens to help out and act as Marshals on the day please, and a person to man the BBQ.

As per our last three cross countries, the courses comply with the national school cross country standards in length and terrain. Children (equivalent to Year 4 - 8 ) wanting to compete further who come top of their age group (8yrs, 9yrs, 10yrs, 11yrs, 12yrs, 13yrs) will be able to go on to compete in the Taranaki Central Cross Country competition (held at the Stratford Racecourse, and success there leads to competing two weeks later at the Taranaki Champs in Hawera .

There will be a hot sausage afterwards for all the racers.

Toilet and kitchen facilities are available. There is also a fenced tennis court perfect for younger kids to play on with scooters/trikes, with a basketball hoop.

We will have balloons tied to the gate, so you can't miss us!
