CANTERBURY RUNNING | CROSS COUNTRY
BE INVOLVED
Cross-country, Road and Trail running covers all running that occurs outside an athletics stadium. It can be daunting for people new to the sport to understand what we mean so here is a guide.
Our calendar offers events throughout the year. Anyone can enter an event. Click on the calendar page for information specific to that event.
- Cross-country events are run around loops over mixed terrain including grass, sand, and forest floor. Each loop is usually about 2k. Each event offers various distances from 4k to 10k. The more relaxed races include the Lake Reserve Cross-Country and the Royal Derby. We also offer relay events where team members run their lap before tagging the next person in the team. Sometimes these have handicapped starts which means the faster teams start later. This leads to exciting close finishes. Faster stronger runners are catered for too with steeple chase jumps in the Kennett Cup and the hilly Holloway.
- Road racing is on hard surfaces with runs ranging from shortish loops to longer scenic events. Distances range from 5k up to the half and full marathon. Our show-stopper is the stunning 10k run between Governors Bay and Lyttleton. The highlight for many is the iconic Takahe to Akaroa road relay.
- Trail runs take you literally off the beaten track. These events are usually longer in distance. Boulder Bay is a 10.5k run out around Godley Head and the Crater Rim events offers multiple options from 10k to 83k which will take you all over the Port Hills.
- Race walking is also possible in most of our events.
