Registrations for the 2024 Junior Tough Guy and Gal Challenge are now open! 

We had a few students from Oxford Crescent School last year who attended and came back to school buzzing with each of them reporting having a great time participating!  We have registered our school group for 2024.  

Who can compete?

Kiwi kids of all sporting abilities who are Year 3 to Year 6 

  • 1.5km Course Option – For school years 3 – 4

  • 3km Course Option – For school years 5 – 6

Due to the nature of this event as a school we offer support with Tania Lister being there at the event for the day, but we will not be supervising students at the event.  Parents are expected to register and make arrangements for their children and will need to transport and supervise their children at this event which is during the school day. 

At the event, we plan to have the school marquee set up as a base for students. Parents will need to be onsite to organise their child getting to their race and clean up afterwards!

We are registered as a school for the Thursday 23rd May event, simply follow this link and instructions below to join the Oxford Crescent School group:

Registrations close as soon as sold out!
