How to Enter - On line at Athletics Otago website: www.athleticsotago.co.nz by clicking on ‘Events’ and then ‘Kids Cross Country Series’. Enter one event, or all five! It’s a fun way to keep fit over the winter months. The cost is $7.50 per child/per event or $30 per child if entering all 5 events at the same time. You can also enter on the day.
What to Wear - No specialised gear is required, run in whatever you feel comfortable in, but remember it might get a bit MUDDY! – for most of the events its is recommended the children wear footwear. It’s also a good idea to bring something warm to put on after the race.
