Anderson Rally History
The Dannevirke Rally began in 1934, but soon became commonly known as the Anderson Rally after one of the main sponsors.
Apart from a couple of breaks between 1942-1945 and late 70’s, it was held up until the late 1990’s, once one of the largest cross country events in NZ for many years with over 700 runners participating.
The Trophies (at least the ones we’ve found so far) read like a who’s who of NZ distance running greats.
Grade winners will be recognised with certificates and the Points winner of the Overall Club will be awarded the Turnbull Cup
