Medals
Road Championships Medals are awarded for all age groups. For all grades U18 and below, this is the last event for winter series points. Winter Series medals for these grades will be presented at this event.
Location
The races are held in the Wainuiomata Recreation Area. Enter from Moores Valley Road and turn into Whitcher Grove which leads to Reservoir Road. Alternatively, especially if wet or arriving late, drive to Hine Road and then up Hine Road to either Richard Prouse Park or the very end of Hine Road. Find a park and then it is a short walk across the fields up to the venue on Reservoir Road.
NOTE:
Coming from Wellington, it is often much quicker to avoid the Petone Esplanade, especially if fine. Exiting at the Dowse Interchange and taking Hutt Road North up to Railway Ave towards Hutt City Central and onto Woburn Road past Hutt Valley High School is often quicker even though it is slightly longer.
