Get ready for a traditional rural X-country experience with 3.5km laps that will take you through private farmland, gentle hills and quite possibly some mud!

All ages and abilities of runners and walkers are welcome. We have a shorter 1.7km ‘Rascal Romp’ course for the children and 2 or 3 laps of a 3.5km loop course for adults.

Registration is on the farm at the barn from 1:15pm with the event briefing at 1:55pm. Walkers start at 2pm, all Runners start at 2:15pm, Rascal Romp starts at 2:20pm.

Bring a plate for the post-race afternoon tea at the farmhouse!

This event is free to everyone, but we encourage participants to join the Waimea Harrier club, as this is a race in their Winter Programme. All ages and abilities of runners and walkers are welcome.
