Bays Relays in two weeks 2 Aug 2016.
Pack run/walk from clubrooms at Alex Moore, Sat 6 August, 1:45
More than half way through winter now, so make the most of the opportunity to tell tall tales of braving inclement weather on the top of Kaukau (even if the truth was once around the park with your child before having a cup of tea!)
Bays Relay is coming up - 13 August
The next interclub event is the Bays Relay on Saturday 13 August (hosted by WHAC). From Island Bay around to the wind wand with each leg under 5k it is a fast fun blast where the support cars need to be well organised to stay ahead of the runners. See http://athleticswellington.org.nz/News/bays-relay-walkers-5k-turkey-trot-sat-13-august.
We have got to get our skates on to get the entries in and teams organised. Grade Captains have to juggle things to get everyone into an appropriate team and it takes time. They can't do it without entries (picture a mime trying to juggle without any balls -- that's how sad they would look) so please please pop your name down at the link below - before the end of the week :

For kids there is the option of the Kids Frenzy run by Jonathon Harper from Wellington Scottish http://www.athleticswellington.org.nz/News/kids-cross-country-series-petone-14-august .
The day after the Bays Relay is the Kids Cross Country Series event on Sunday 14 August at Petone (hosted by Hutt Valley Harriers) http://www.athleticswellington.org.nz/News/kids-cross-country-series-petone-14-august

Early days perhaps, but time is racing by.
Spring into TempoFit! (discounts for member, friends and family)
Spring TempoFit season started this week, but you can probably sneak in still. Club members get to sign up for half price. If any parents of your club members are keen we can also give them a discount code to use which means it's $99 instead of $119.
Olympic is right in the thick of it with existing venues at Khandallah/Ngaio and Tawa one, Chris Speakman taking the Lower Hutt one, and Coach Rob is leading the charge in the newly formed Porirua group.
