Feilding Moa and Marton Harrier clubs have been competing for a Relay Trophy for more than 60 years and these days we extend an open invitation to other running clubs, social groups from workplaces or other sports etc to run against us. The course takes in laps 3, 4 and 5 of the NZ Road Relay championship course so a useful sighter for those doing this event on 7^th October.

In keeping with the original spirit of this inter-club Relay, we don't offer gimmicky spot prizes, simply the camaradarie of running/walking as a team and a decent energy- replacing afternoon tea afterwards.
