Entries are still being received but with the NZ top crews of Goodyear, Dogfish, Herberts on Tour, Waitakere Roc, Team Phoenix, Grizzlies, Mana Menz etc confirmed we are in for some pretty exciting racing right thru the divisions and with the overseas teams they will be trying to gate crash our party.

Word has it that the Open men's team from Raro are pretty hot and could be the crew to beat although Goodyear are out to make it 3 in a row but will also have very stiff competition from the Mooloolaba crew

Make sure you get your entry in and confirmed to ensure that you have an opportunity to challenge yourselves against the best in NZ and test how you measure up against some really tough International crews

Also all the International crews have confirmed that they are here to take on the Kiwis in the OC1 & OC2 relays and with such big names in the sport as Hawaiian Lauren Bartlett, Australians Chris Maynard, Danny Sheard & Mike Mils-Thom etc then the second day of racing is going to be just as hard as the 42km race.

Don't delay, get registered for the Relay race to confirm your start and again see whether you are good enough to beat the very excellent International competition that will be racing.

We are in for two great days of superb racing with the Takapuna Beach Cup Trophy's up for Grabs along with prize monies and plenty of Spot Prizes to be dished out.
