Some more results from Around the Bays...
A few people were missed from the results we posted last week - sorry about that... If I had more skill I'd put them into the results page at http://www.olympicharriers.nz/results/event.php?eid=1184, but for now I'll put them here:
     Craig Walker; Declan Street; Nathan Butchard and Jake Butchard -- all were in the 6.5k event.

 

NZ Masters Athletics
Golds for Michelle van Looy (5000m and Steeple) and Peter Hansen (75m) at the meet in Dunedin last week.  Well Done!  A bronze each as well and some reference in the face book post to "two pudding Peter" - not sure what that was about...

Around Rarotonga Race
Miles and Sheryne have done the hard yards and chased down a good price for travel and accomodation.  The chance of cheaper fares closer to the day is balanced off against not getting into the hosting resort at Shearwater.  Do you you feel lucky... well do you...?  Contact Natalia McAllansmith at Flight Centre North City, 2374477, and you should be able to get the same kind of deal.  

The Round Rarotonga Road Race celebrates its 39th Anniversary with its annual weeklong event from the 22-28 September 2016 held on the beautiful tropical island of Rarotonga. The event caters for everyone including families, social, recreational and competitive runners and is a fantastic opportunity to combine a holiday with a once in a lifetime sporting achievement.

A week of warmth at the end of winter sounds a good idea and a bunch of club members are planning to attend this year.  No firm arrangements yet but you can check out the website here: http://sale.cookislands.travel/events/round-rarotonga-road-race-2/
