Cross Country – Newlands College Sport and Active Recreation

Code Convener

Season – Term 2 & 3

Cost

Entry fees, travel and accommodation for events away.

Background

Our Cross Country squad is made up of middle distance runners. We encourage students from other sports who are keen on being fit to get involved in our programme. Middle distance athletes are encouraged to participate in Cross Country competitions in Term 2 and 3. Newlands College students compete in local and national competitions; you make great friends and get to see different parts of Wellington.

In races students can enter as individuals or in teams. Race distances are generally 2-4km. By registering to this sport you are not committing to all of the events. Most of our squad belong to the local harrier club. There is an expectation that you are doing your own regular training.

Training

Once or twice a week. Students are also encouraged to join a club. Most of our students are in the Olympic Harriers running club.
