Worst photoshop award goes to ME!!
Anyway, made a stop into Total Sport NZ HQ today and grabbed a bunch of merch from old events to use as spot prizes. Quite a bit will be great for the kids :)

Thought last night was easy and you could do better next time? 🏃Well here is an incentive. If you get a 5km PB (not just a cook 5km but your actual 5km pb) while at our event then you can nab one of these PB certificates courtesy of Bayleys Waikato Jordan Metcalfe - Bayleys Waikato Rebecca Bruce Bayleys Commercial.
Along with the cert you get a voucher for a free run. 🏃Each free run redeemed goes into the draw for a $500 Pressie card. I mean how good is that?🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
