Hi Team,
This weekend we will be heading to Huanui College for a rogaine. Please be there at 9.30 so that I can get you into teams. Cost will be $3.00 per person. Please bring a thermal, fleece, water, running shoes, snacks, and personal medication. It is really important that you come to this event, as it will be good training for other events.

Once we have finished at Huanui at 11am, we will head down to Mains Rd, off vinegar hill rd. YOU MUST BRING A REFLECTIVE VEST!!!!!!!! This training will finish at 1pm. We are able to transport students, but you need to let me know when you arrive at huanui that you require a ride.

This is for seniors and juniors.
