Kew Bush, behind the old hospital, serves as the landmark: turn up ready for a club-style run rather than a polished road event. This is the final stop in the Southland Harriers Shoe Clinic Series, giving it a familiar feel as participants have seen the same people throughout the series. Seniors, juniors, walkers, and regular club runners are all welcome.
Expect a simple bush run with distinct senior and junior courses, followed by people lingering afterward instead of leaving immediately. The series prizegiving occurs after the run, including spot prizes. A "relaxed end-of-series atmosphere" is enhanced by a "fancy dress element." If you prefer practical, local racing with a social finish, Race 5 at Kew Bush offers that kind of afternoon.
