🇳🇿 Announcing the strongest team we've ever sent to the World Road Running Championships!
The Quax name returns to the black singlet. Theo Quax, son of NZ running legend Dick Quax, has been selected for the Road 5km in Copenhagen. Forty-eight years after his dad won Olympic silver over 5000m, Theo gets his shot on the world stage.
"It's an honour to don the black singlet for the first time." Quax said on his selection.
James Kuegler it is the XC Teams Champs and whilst a XC race it does not need to sit within the GP series.
It is part of the Senior Winter League and Junior Winter Series.
This change was discussed and agreed on by the committee who, as you know, is made up of representatives from all clubs.
We will look at incorporating entry for this race in the GP series entry for next year.
What, it isn't part of the GP series? But I thought that was for cross country. And this is cross country, isn't it?
Is it part of the Senior series?
What about the Junior series?
How many different series are there? And does the average competitor have any idea how any of these series work?
And maybe more importantly, do they care?
Wow! Massive new PB of 4.81m 🥇 gold and Pole Vault Meet Record at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland! Huge congratulations to Imogen Ayris on a brilliant performance. 👏🔥 ... See MoreSee Less

Just a reminder that the Auckland XC Teams Championship this coming Saturday at Ambury Park is not part of the GP Series.
If you have entered the GP series as a whole, it will not include this
Saturday's race - you will need to enter separately for it.
