It is also an opportunity for road or trail runners who have not run on the track before to try it out in a supportive environment.

ENTRY INFORMATION
This year, we are introducing a $10 entry subscription. 

ENTER:  Please sign up to run even if you don’t want to run fast.
It helps the runners who are targeting a personal best if they’re surrounded by friends and club members who are running alongside them.

This event is supported by @musashinutritionnz
         

SOMETHING NEW
Please join a 25-person team for the new relay.
This will be a chaotic but fun event where people of all ages (5-95) and speeds can participate. We would love at least one Scottish team on the start line.
People can run in the relay and also enter as individuals in one of the 10,000-meter races.

Please let us know if you can help on the day.

In particular, we want lap counters and pacers to support our runners 

  • (32 minutes, 35 minutes, 40 minutes, 45 minutes, 50 minutes and other requested times).
