Sing Relay [cancelled]
2021-09-18 12:45 - 15:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Parana Park, Parana Park, Memorial Drive, Hamilton East, Hamilton, 3216, New Zealand
The Sing Relay is a unique two-person fun relay on a 5km course and run in the “Helen Hall-King’s race format” from the Memorial Park.
Meet at the airplane in Memorial Park at 13:00 for registration, teams picked at 1.30 and the race starting at 1.50pm.

Both team members start together. However, the faster runner runs ahead to the half way point and then turns around to meet their other runner. At the point of meeting, both runners turn around and run back to finish line the exact way they have just run. The team that takes top honours is the team that has both runners home first.

This is a relay for all abilities and is loads of fun. You will either run less or more than 5km depending on your ability and that of your team member.
Kids welcome – they can take part in the relay too (or we will have a kids race, depending on numbers and ages).

We will be heading to Eastside Tavern for a drink after the race so please join us.

Trophy Day [Cancelled]
2021-09-25 12:30 - 15:00 | Hawks Road and XC Clubrooms, Hamilton City Hawks Grantham Street, Hamilton, 3204
Trophy day is a handicap start and not to be missed! Lots of trophies up for grabs, and you may just score one, forget, and then be pleasantly surprised at the prize giving in October.
This is a handicap race from the clubrooms with a staggered start based on your approximate or estimated 5km time – so in theory, everyone should finish together. In the past, there have been some very exciting finishes with the bulk of the field often only within 30 or 40 seconds. It’s a great chance for those who aren’t normally near the front to scoop one of the clubs most sought after trophies (…and to test your maths and timing skills).
Doors open at 12.30 pm
Registrations taken from then onwards this is a handicap 5 km race so runners need to estimate their time they will do.
Kids 2 km race is first at 1.30 pm mass start here.
5 km race starts at 1.50 with the clock counting down and runners leave once their time they estimated comes up.
Bring a plate for afternoon tea
