Halcombe Hall anchors this team running and walking relay, with squads heading out onto the quiet, undulating roads of the Manawatu countryside. It has the feel of a club day amplified: running clubs, social teams, walkers, and workplace groups share the effort instead of everyone grinding through a solo race.
The course rolls over rural roads around Halcombe, broken into relay legs with proper changeover points, so each runner or walker gets a manageable portion of the loop. Six-person run or walk teams line up, and the quirk is the staggered start: slowest teams off first, meaning teams finish more or less together. After that, it is announcements and afternoon tea, fitting for this kind of local relay.
