The Leith Cross Country Relays on 17 May 2025 is an annual teams relay race, held over a rugged grassed 2km course at the Dunedin Pony Club.
Get a team together of family, friends, school or workmates. Teams can be made up of 1 to 4 runners and complete either the 8km (2 x 2km) or 16km (4 x 2km) course.
There's also a race for kids under 7 years and primary/intermediate school children can run a 650m lap course.
The Ponydale Challenge held on the same day is an ultra cross country race where the runners start at the same time as the first leg runners of Race 1 in the relays section. The goal is for the runners to run as many 2km laps as possible in 3 hours. Whoever completes the most laps in this time is the Challenge winner.
This event is organised by the Leith Harriers and Athletic Club. There is no prerequisite that runners need to belong to a running club to enter.
