The handicap is open to members and guests; members must be 16 or older and have a valid handicap for their chosen discipline. The club offers coaching through its Run Leader program and hosts several events across the year including the Spring Gift, Phar Lap 2 Miles, Christmas Gift, and occasional other distances.
Catering & aid stations
Morning tea is provided by members; members are requested to bring a plate unless they prefer not to.
