Boys 9 year old and under race at the 27th Interschool Cross Country at Aranui Primary School.

Country schools dominated the 27th annual Aranui Primary School Interschool Cross Country on Tuesday.

Aranui pronicipal Maryann Roberts said the event just keeps getting bigger each year and on Tuesday 31 schools took part with 532 athletes running the revamped Castlecliff course.

"We made some changes to the course, but the kids adapted well - it was quite challenging and the weather was perfect," Roberts said.

As is traditional a massive support crew involving parents, teachers and whanau turned out cheer on thei own particular champs competing in the four events.

Hunterville, Fordell and Kai Iwi athletes won three of the four events, while Castlecliff was the sole city school to claim a title.
