Cross Country

Winter – Kids Cross Country

In Winter our Cross Country events are usually on a Saturday after lunch, or Sunday morning, so you’ve still got time to do the weekend soccer/rugby/netball etc first.

We make the most of our local forests, reserves, farms, and off roads around Rotorua, with lots of variety to keep young ones interested. And the bikkies and hot milo at the end are a favorite for most kids!

For example if we are running a 10km event for the Seniors, we will also run 1.8km-3km events for the kids at the same time. The kids all run or walk together, and sometimes with the adults too, but they are timed according to their own age group, so no-one feels left behind.

It’s all about working on your own improvement, rather than comparing to others. Beginner children are welcome to walk, jog/walk, or even catch a ride on mum or dad’s shoulders at times!
