Group F train for two hours from 8.30am to 10.30am on Saturdays during school terms. From Sept 2024 the group is for those who were born in 2007 to 2012 inclusive who will race in either the Tristar 3 (Born in 2011 and 2012) , Youth (Born in 2009 and 2010) or Junior ( 2007 in 2008) age groups in 2025.
