The Inaugural Athletics Auckland Relay Festival is being held at #2 Arena Mt Smart on Saturday 31 January.
This is a great opportunity for Clubs and Schools to give their sprint, distance, and field event athletes experience at a variety of relays.
All the Track Relays will be mixed events, to enable as many Clubs as possible to enter teams. Composite teams are also welcome, so Clubs can combine forces to enter composite teams if there are insufficient male or female athletes in a particular grade available from their own membership base.
There are four Field Relays with separate competitions for male and female, the teams comprised of three athletes.
The entry instructions will be posted on the Athletics Auckland website two weeks prior to the competition.
Entry fees: $12.00 per relay team
Grades: U16, U18, U20, Senior, Masters 35-49, Masters 50+
At the Festival athletes can compete both in their own grade and also one grade up, to enable greater participation.

During the 2026 Colgate Games in Tauranga this past weekend, a number of current Auckland Teen Athletes were helping out as volunteers for the duration of the weekend. Their stellar efforts did not go unnoticed by the officials, helping to make the event run smoothly.
Thank you to Sofia Maulvurfs (Lynndale Athletic and Harrier Club), Thomas Smallfield (Lynndale Athletic and Harrier Club), Jy Gonzales (Lynndale Athletic and Harrier Club), Kona Kelly (Oratia Running) and Jordan Viljoen (Pakuranga Athletic Club) for making the journey down to Tauranga and for giving up your time to support the younger athletes and their Colgate experience.
All 5 of these athletes did a superb job!
Special mention must go to Sofia though, who was praised highly by the call tent referee for her efficiency in the tent. ... See MoreSee Less

You were all wondering thanks team
Thank you to all the volinteers. You brought the youthful energy to boost the officials. I was Starters Assistant on Saturday and Sunday and while our volunteer was from Papamoa and he made me reduntant at times it was great having the volunteers bringing the young athletes out often placed in their lanes so Thomas and myself to just check
Thank you so much for volunteering! We really appreciate you giving back to your sport in this way. What great role models you are.
They did an amazing job- and in the heat as well ,
A Grand contribution, teen athletes from Auckland. Giving back, and I'm sure, having fun while doing it. Well done !
As a previous Colgate Games athlete, then CG helper and now mum to a CG competing athlete, it was so cool to see our young people out there helping as our whānau enter a new tradition of Colgate Games again 🙂 Ngā mihi ki ngā rangatahi katoa!
It was a big help to our overstreched small team of officials in very hot conditions. See you in Whangarei
