*** THE OFFER ***
Open to anyone in Marlborough (or afar if you are visiting).

We will provide all the equipment, transport from Blenheim, accommodation and race entries. Traveling down on Saturday afternoon we will rest up for the evening at Pegasus Gateway Motel before race day on Sunday. 250m and 500m races are the call of the day. At the end of the exciting day of racing we will then tuck you up in the minibus with a well earned beverage and deliver you back to Blenheim ready to tell your workmates all about your awesome weekend. Don't worry about your fitness! Races are all done and dusted in around 2 minutes and its the very start of the season, no-one is really very fit.
