Wellington Road Champs are coming around (but not as often?!?) 17 Aug 2016.

Wellington Road Champs, Reservoir Road, Wainuiomata,1:00 pm - 4:00 pm Sat 20 August

I put people wrong last week in saying there was a 2.5 km race.  The mainstays are still the traditional 10 and 5 km races, but in an attempt to stop people getting giddy the laps are now 2.5 km rather than 2 km.  There are also a variety of shorter distances for junior members. This is the last in the Wellington interclub series so overall points will be known at the end of the day - remember your race numbers.  Those bibs are handy in that you can just start in the race you want (or even both the 5 and the 10) and the details will get sorted out magically.

  •  1:00 pm    Under 9 - 1 km
  • 1:15 pm     Under 11 - 2 km
  • 1:30 pm    Youth, Senior, Masters (men and women) and also Junior women - 5 km
                    Junior men U20 - 7.5 km
  • 2:10 pm    Under 13 - 2.5 km
  • 2:30 pm    Under 15 - 2.5 km
  • 2:50 pm    Open and masters (men and women) - 10 km

If for some reason you have not yet entered (most, if not all,  will have entered at the start of the season) see the link below and get the entry in by the 18th.

Bays Relay last week

A "atmospheric" afternoon saw overall numbers down a little, but Olympic was well represented.  Second place for both the Open and Masters 40 women, and a third for the Masters 40 men. If you haven't seen them, the results are on the WHAC website: http://www.whac.org.nz/uploads/results/2016/2016%20Bays%20Relay%20-%20Prov%20v4.pdf
