ACM Cross Country Race 7 & ACM Champs - 2026

Kamahi farmland near Rangitūmau defines this event: a true cross country running event on a rural course, with open ground and the feel of a club day rather than a polished road race. The ACM Cross Country Race 7 & ACM Champs - 2026 also carries the sharper edge of the ACM club championships, so you can line up with people treating it as a title race as well as runners just there for a muddy, honest run. The format is straightforward and runner-friendly: a mass start for the main field, plus optional early starts if you want more time on the course. There is a longer course option, a mid-distance option, a shorter course, and a short course suitable for beginners or younger participants, which explains the mixed crowd of families, beginners, experienced cross country regulars, and competitive runners sharing the same paddock atmosphere.
