The 2.5km beach run is open to under 12 year olds (as at 1 January 2011) and consists of one lap of Takapuna beach.
Please note: It is important that a parent or gaurdian is present for any entrants under the age of 16.
Entry fees and details
To take part in the Series this summer, you will need to purchase a single, five, 10 or 16-week (full season) concession pass. All credits can be used at any stage through out the 2010/2011 State Beach Series season. To encourage you to take part in multiple events, we have loaded the five, 10 and 16 week passes with discounts and incentives. The larger the concession you purchase, the larger the discount and value you will receive.
Two great reasons to purchase a 10 or 16-week concession pass are:
- You will receive a timing chip to take home and use all season long; this means you have to turn up to pre-event registration only once
Receive a discount on your entry fee and save waiting in queues be entering online here before 2.00pm each event Day.

Age groups
Male and Female age groups are as follows. Ages are determined by your age on 1st January 2011.
8 and under, 9-10, 11-12.
Series points
The times for the first place male and female each week will be awarded 100 points, and then competitors that arrive after the winner will be awarded fewer points based on their times relative to the winner’s time. This is a familiar concept – 100% is tops and those who aren’t the best get less.
You will see in the results your points for that particular week. A competitor’s best 10 races will be counted at the end of the season to determine the overall series discipline winners and place getter as outlined below.
To win or place in your age group, you will need to have the highest number of points in your particular age category over the season. Again, your best ten races will be counted. Competitors that achieve a top 5 placing in the open category will not be eligible to win age group prizes. (It's just fairer that way!)
