Novice guide, Eric Speakman helps sight-impaired Hutt Valley High School competitor around the course

In the exhilarating return of the 2024 relay event, Wakefield Park once again played host to the pulse-pounding action. Teams of four dashed around a course that, although rumoured to be 2km long, seemed to shrink under the intensity of the competitor's stride.

But don't be fooled by its modest distance;  this course is a master of deception.  With its cunning blend of steep inclines and treacherous terrain, it's a true test of mettle for even the most seasoned high school runners. The uphill battle of the first half serves as a merciless initiation, separating the contenders from the pretenders in the unforgiving world of cross-country racing.
