Eva Pringle from the University of Canterbury Club in Christchurch
Senior Men:

The two Trail Running athletes are:

Each of the athletes bring with them significant experience and achievements over the Mountain and Trail events, and despite the lack of opportunities to race during the last two years it will be exciting now to see these athletes compete in November.
We wish them all the best for the rest of their preparations in the lead up to the championships, and we are looking forward to seeing what they can do in Thailand.
