Representatives of the Auckland, West Coast (North Island), Wellington, Otago, Canterbury, and Hawke’s Bay-Poverty Bay Athletic Centres and of hie New Zealand Council, who are attending the national cross-country championship at New Plymouth, held a conference to-night, when a proposal for the holding of centre and national marathon championship races received support. It was decided to hold next year’s cross-country championship in Hawke’s Bay.
