Centennial Cup

Centennial Cup and Tearle Trophy Handicap Walk

The Centennial Cup (5km) and the Tearle Trophy Handicap Walk are friendly, flat races starting in Island Bay. The race is a sealed handicap, which means that we all start at the same time but the fastest runners are given a handicap so everyone should finish with the same (or similar) times.

This is a flat 5km club race along the south coast waterfront, starting at Island Bay. This is the traditional opening race of the season, in which members compete for the Centennial Cup. It is a sealed handicap event where our handicapper has estimated your time over 5km to determine your handicap. Everyone starts together, and the finishing times are adjusted by your handicap to determine your net time and the overall winner of the Cup. 

We meet beforehand at St Hilda’s Church, 311 The Parade, to store gear. Then we return afterwards for afternoon tea.
