WELLINGTON CENTRE CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPS - SUNDAY 24 JULY AT GRENADA NORTH PARK, TAWA
For those who haven't entered yet you have until this Sunday 17 July to register in time to receive a personalised race bib for the Wellington Cross Country Champs. Online entries close 5pm on Thursday 21 July.
- Important - all children from pre schoolers through to year 8s MUST enter the Wellington Centre Champs by entering the Kids Cross Country Series at www.athleticshub.co.nz/events
- Note those in the U15, U18, U20, Seniors and Masters Grades who have already entered all the interclub events and have their race bib don't need to enter again - just use the race bib you already have.
This will be many of our Olympic members who entered the four races when signing on to the Club -- if you have a bib already and entered all 4 races, you are good to go. There will be a list at the Clubrooms on Saturday showing who is recorded as being entered.
Pre schoolers up to year 8s MUST NOT use their usual interclub race bib at this event (i.e. the one they've used for the Vosseler and/or the Dorne Cup). They have to pick up their new race bib at the registration area on the morning of the Kids Cross Country Series event.
