Gut-busting is what some runners would have called the terrain in the interschool cross-country held last week.
Weber School hosted the event, with 171 runners across three grades participating from Weber, Ruahine, Totara College, Dannevirke South, Huia Range, Norsewood and Districts and St Joseph's.
Weber School acting principal Chrissina Loadersays conditions were challenging at times due to rain and wind, as well as the cold.
The course was run over farmland near the school, with varying degrees of difficulty.
Ruahine School was the winner of the McGregor Cup, to be presented at a school assembly.
