Feilding Moa

We had a challenging road race today at Halcombe - a tailwind on the way out which wasn't all that apparent until we turned and found out how strong it really was! Downhill into the wind felt harder than uphill.
Congrats to Handicap trophy winners Emma Long (first one); Blake Johnston, Harrison Stevens, Greta Gill, Cath Staines and Dave Scott

We're still on the hunt for some awesome volunteers for the upcoming NZ Road Relays on 3 October.

Can you lend a hand? We'd love to hear from you!

We're looking for:
- marshals to help organise athletes
- back up timekeepers
- transition marshals (directing cars where to park and athletes where to wait)
- people to help with set up on Friday and/or packdown on Sunday
- general helpers on Saturday including delivery of items around the course

No contribution is too small. Many hands make light work!

Get in touch with us: [email protected] or flick us a PM.

HOT off THE PRESS at the NZ 10km road champs in New Plymouth. GOLD to our U20 womens team of Madi Honeyfield Holly Munday and Maddie Parkes. SILVER to Andre Le Pine-Day and bronze to Isaac Murphy in men's race. And also GOLD for teams with George Varney in 4th overall. Exciting race

This Saturday is a sealed handicap road run/walk from the Beaconsfield valley Rd Hall - different course to the AMW champs a couple of weeks ago. And our Men and Women will be racing head to head over 8km. Being "Sealed" means they will be starting all at the same time. Should be some fun rivalry! read more in this weeks newsletter

Still on that relay buzz after Halcombe?!

The next big event in our region is the Athletics New Zealand Road Relay Championships on Saturday 3 October.

But did you know you don't HAVE to be part of an Athletics club to enter?

There are social options too - take on the full 7-leg relay or the more sedate 6-leg relay.

Perfect for workmates, gymmates, team mates from other sporting codes, parkrun friends...

You'll get to experience the fun of a road relay AND get to see some pretty elite runners and walkers from all around the country battling it out.

Check out all your options here:
