New Zealand Cross Country Champs Interclub Relay, Taupo
Now this is a very interesting one, a brand new event at the national champs - the inaugural interclub relay. Athletics NZ have decided to create a club based event to encourage those who did not qualify to represent their region. This looks very exciting and well worth getting some TUH members organised into teams.
The Athletics NZ article is found here.
Runners hit one of our great trail options, Keith George Memorial Park for the club trail champs. Some technical single trail and sharp hill work, its a tough little course. We had our biggest turn out for this event yet. There were some great battles within the race, some folks pushing a little too hard taking tumbles in there. Nothing too serious but a good reminder that our backyard trails aren't to be underestimated.

Walkers pushed to the top of Riverstone Terrace, an unusual race being such a steep and long hill. Some close times within the group made for good racing.
King: Jon Roskvist
Queen: Steph Robinson

Dorne Cup
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
The second interclub Wellington championship event of the season - the Dorne Cup. Despite some rain and thunder in the days prior, the course wasn't all that bad. Certainly muddy in some sections but overall not attrocious and very runnable.
The online results are still preliminary and edits are being made by the race organisers.
We had three victories amongst our 53 finishers. Top 10 placings below.

Novice & Presidents Races for Runners
Steve Plowman Trophy for U12
Bob Clark Memorial Trophy for Walkers
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Another beautiful still day. I'm going to say it, winter still hasn't arrived! To be fair though, the course was slow in sections where recent rain and shadow is making the ground a little gluggy, and the stream was running a little higher.
