Saturday 24 May 2025
Vosseler Shield
Mt Victoria


The Vosseler Shield - the last race of the Autumn classics and the first individual race on the inter-club calendar for those registered as a competitive athlete. A very tough race on Mt Vic with a long and proud history. The course can be tough if the weather has been dry, and tougher if the weather has been wet. Be prepared for some tough racing. Check out our inter-club page for info on this long standing classic race.

The clubrooms typically wouldn't be open today, however if there is a group not heading to Mt Vic but wanting to use the clubroom, you will need to organise yourselves.



Tuesday 27 May 2025
CSW Cross Country Champs
Harcourt Park


College Sport Wellington Cross Country Champs are back at Harcourt park this year. We expect a good number of our athletes to take part this year.


Saturday 31 May 2025
Novice & Presidents Race
Steve Plowman Trophy
Bob Clark Memorial Trophy for walkers
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park


Plenty on the line today. The Novice and Presidents is a fantastic race for all abilities and as a handicap race, the winner is very tough to pick. Everyone has a great shot at vicotry here. Juniors have the Steve Plowman and Trentham United trophies up for grabs, and walkers have the Bob Clark Memorial trophy to compete for.

Further details here.



Saturday 7 June 2025
Dorne Cup
Trentham Memorial Park


The start of winter, so likely cold, wet and muddy - glorious cross country weather! And to kick winter off we have The Dorne Cup - a cross country on our home ground and the second non-relay race on the inter-club calendar for those registered as a competitive athlete. This can be a very fast race if the conditions aren't too muddy, and if it is muddy requires a combination of speed and power. Well worth watching as it is quite a spectator friendly course. Check out our inter-club page for info on this long standing classic race.



Saturday 14 June 2025
Rhys Mair Memorial Trail Champs, Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
King & Queen of the Mountain, Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park

Walkers have King & Queen of the Mountain starting from the clubrooms to the top of Grace Nicholls Grove in Riverstone Terraces, mostly sealed road/footpath.

Juniors will have a regular club training session, likely based at TMP.

Finally a group of our juniors are heading up to Whangarei to represent their School at the NZ Secondary Schools Cross Country Champs. Good luck!



Saturday 21 June 2025
Shaw Baton Cross Country Relays
Battle Hill


The rescheduled date for Shaw Baton.
This one is a team relay, only 2km, and fantastic variation in terrain - thick grass, gravel tracks, log jumps, a water jump over mostly flat to undulating track with one sharp uphill & downhill. A great race.

Details on the event are on the interclub race page.

University Cross Country Relays
Chocolate Walk
Mackays Crossing


We finally got to race on the weekend, with the Kapiti Coast turning on the weather for the University Cross Country Relay and Chocolate walk. Great turn out for TUH and some great results too.

Second year of the mixed teams format and once again was successful. Within that, our club captain Stephen generally opted to mix the abilty of most Trentham teams making for interesting competition within our club. And the results demonstrate how well he did. There was a cluster of Trentham teams in a row from 19th to 23rd, all within 2.5 minutes!

Our Juniors dominated their races, with gold in boys and girls U10 and the U14.

Saturday 26 - Sunday 27 April 2025
Faultline Ultra
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park


Trentham Harriers experienced the highs and lows of ultra running this weekend.

Josh was the only one to toe the line for the miler but his current injuries surfaced a quarter way through so he pulled the pin at 57km.

Bethany, Hugh, Shar, Stephen and Tom all started the 100km distance. Bethany, Shar and Tom all completed the feat, knocking off their all-time longest runs. Shar ran 17:01 and placed 10th female, Bethany and Hugh ran 21:18, Tom ran 16:52. But heartbreak for Stephen - he made it 90km before stomach issues meant he could not continue.

Finally the Boyd brothers and Phil B teamed up and took 2nd place in the Teams Miler! Phil ran 34km in 3:13, Mark did 49km in 4:48, Jeremy and Tim closing out though I am unsure of their times.

Also an important mention to our supporting crew. We had the Polands, the Walkers, and others at aid stations assiting their runners, and special mention to Brian who clocked over 30km pacing in the middle of the night to help our runners. Amazing Brian, thanks!

Well done everyone. It takes a huge amount of training to even make the start. Then to put it all together on the day and push through the physical and mental barriers is a fantastic achievement.

Faultline Ultra results here.
