ACM Cross Country Race 6 - 2026

Bagshot Farm in the Whangaehu Valley defines this race's character, featuring rural terrain, flags, and arrows, evoking a proper club cross-country day rather than a polished road event. ACM Cross Country Race 6 - 2026 employs a "mass start format," with "optional early starts" available for runners seeking more space before the main field begins. The available course options allow for varied efforts: a "longer course option for experienced runners," a "mid-distance option for regular runners," a "shorter course for those wanting a moderate run," and a "short course suitable for beginners or younger participants." Expect families, newer runners, and seasoned cross-country participants to share the same farm setting, then stay for the old-school quirk that best suits the day: post-race morning tea, with everyone encouraged to bring a plate.
