START & FINISH
All Club Runners, club parents, and volunteers can participate in the 4-leg "closest to estimated time" relay. Legs are of varying distances so suitable for everyone. All laps start and finish on our world-class athletics arena right here on home turf in Christchurch.
Gather together a team of four from your club to enjoy this relay event. See if you can arrange it so they will all run about the same time - perhaps mix some older runners with some kids.
Then join us for the presentation of the "Club of the Year", the Champion Runners of the season trophies, our stalwarts awards and various other trophies.
A free sausage in bread for all participants.
