Southland Harriers Shoe Clinic Series: Race 3 – Miller Handicap 2026

The Southland Harriers Shoe Clinic Series: Race 3 – Miller Handicap, held on private farm property at Te Tipua, offers a traditional club cross-country feel. The land is linked to former New Zealand title winner Hannah Miller, and the course utilizes "off-road farm terrain" instead of a manicured or predictable path. Expect cross-country farm running, with "conditions may be wet or muddy" being a key descriptor. This event is suitable for club runners, juniors, and those comfortable with "uneven or muddy conditions." Participants should be prepared for winter weather, bringing towels, spare footwear, and appropriate off-road running gear; the handicap format provides a competitive chase-and-be-chased dynamic to the finish.
