I hope everyone enjoyed themselves – it certainly looked like you all did. This is the first event of this type we have run, hence it was a sort of “pilot” to test the course and organization. As it went pretty smoothly, and we had a good turnout of competitors (26), we will probably look to holding one or two more events in the New Year. Keep an eye out on the website for these and other upcoming events. If anyone has any feedback, comments on the course or distances, or any other ideas for improving the event, please let either myself or Damien Rodgers know ().

Finally, a big thanks to Ranger Dean Scott and the team from Greater Wellington for allowing us to use the QE Park facilities.

I look forward to seeing you all at the next of our 5km road races, starting at the Waikanae pub at 6pm on Monday 22nd Dec.
