General
The winter harrier season runs April through to early September and is comprised of individual and team relay events over both road and cross country courses. Individual cross country races are run in age groups and over varying distances depending on the runners age at the end of the calendar year. There are Auckland championship races for each age category in both cross country and road. Mixed in between the individual races are various relay events held in different locations in Auckland. Many of these races combine children of different age groups so it is great to have a range of ages to enable teams to be entered in these events.

Our Philosophy
The Wesley philosophy is for the junior runners to participate in as many events as they choose and to enjoy the events rather than worrying about their position or performance. Distance runners take many years to develop. Winning titles when you are young is great, but it is not as important as enjoying the events and getting out with your friends.

Junior Training
We provide a training run on a Monday night for the junior runners i.e. under 13 years which again is focused on learning and having fun rather than full on training.

Registration
Registration for the season covers Wesley fees but also Auckland Centre and Athletics New Zealand for the both the winter season and the following summer season. We encourage younger runners to join a local junior athletic club such as Hillsborough Junior Athletics over the summer as they provide exposure to a wide range of athletic disciplines. Wesley does not run a summer program for junior runners and is happy to transfer your Athletics membership over to your junior club for the summer season which means that you only pay for your summer club fee as your Auckland and National fees are already paid.
