In the past Athletics Auckland selected two teams for this competition. The two teams are called Auckland and Counties Manukau. Both teams have had very good results from this event over the last 10 years. However Athletics NZ has decided to change the format of this annual event. We will advise the Auckland Athletics community once we are advised of the details. If you are interested in either team please contact the Team Managers below.
