Another fantastic day for cross country in Moa territory with around 140 runners and walkers of all ages. Current membership stats show 155 registered with an average age of 26 – so we are not just a childrens club, and not just a senior club. Age range is from 3 to 77.
Todays race was Open Handicap with staggered starts from slowest to fastest – first across the line with an official handicap were the winners.
Just a couple of notes
- To win a trophy you need to be in uniform and Registered via Athletics NZ
- Have had a t least one prior run with the club (so we can determine a more accurate handicap time)
