Upcoming Events
2025 Wallace Shield X-Country Series
RACE 2 - 5 April 2025
Totara Picnic Area - Different from Race 1 - Google Maps HERE
The Wallace Shield series continues on Saturday 5 April with the Wallace Shield 2 X-Country at Moturoa/Rabbit Island, the second of three Wallace Shield cross-country challenges. All three events will be held at Moturoa / Rabbit Island.
Everyone is welcome even if you didn't attend Race 1.
Everyone can participate and its free entry to all, but to be in the running for awards, you need to be a Waimea Harriers member, attend all 3 events and run in the same category for all 3. Children and youth students can join Waimea Harriers for no charge.
The Distances
There are three distance categories:
- "Runner" for adult & high school runners: 5k (3 laps)
- "Walker" for adult & high school walkers: 3.4k (2 laps)
- "Juniors" for Intermediate/primary/pre-school runners:
Choose either "Junior 1 Lap" (1.7k), "Junior 2 Lap" (3,4k) or "Junior 3 Lap" (5k).
The Challenges
Each week there will be a different challenge with the second and third events building on the results of the previous ones. At each event those eligible for the Shield or Junior Awards (Waimea Harriers members) are awarded points based on their performance. The aim is to get the fewest points over the three races in the series.
Race Two: "Improve Your Time" 05 April 2025
The second event in the Wallace Shield series is "Improve Your Time" where all participants run and try and improve on their times from Race 1.
The winner is the person with the most improved time. From this, points are assigned and added to your Race 1 points.
We're using Webscorer for timing, you will need a WH/AN webscorer number, check HERE to see if you already have a number from last year? If you are not on the list , go HERE and register and get a number.
