North Island Cross Country
Champs |
The
North Island Cross Country Champs are held at Spa Park,
Taupo every year and organised by Taupo Harrier Club. There
are some small fences to jump in the first kilometre of each
lap, the most notable being one at the bottom of a dip. The
course is rolling with a few slopes but poses no technical
challenges. I believe the race
was spawned by the 1987 NZXC Champs held at Spa Park. The
distances were set as one lap short of the NZXC distances at
the time, allegedly because the 1987 NZXC competitors blew up in
their final lap.
Masters are run in
three different races: M35-49, M50+ and MW. Despite being
the North Island Champs, the race has been 'open' for many
years and honours are not limited to North Island
competitors only.
The men run two laps
for 6km. The women run two laps but without the northern
loops on their second lap for 5km.
The race is usually held on the first Saturday in July.
It was first held in 1988 and five year age bandings for
masters were introduced in 2009. The next event
will be held in 2023. |
