The cool and relatively calm conditions enjoyed by runners contributed to the fast times posted across the various events including a terrific 2.22.42 (Course record) by Dan Lowry in the Marathon and 67.08 by Nick Earl in the Half-Marathon.  In short previous record fell like tenpins..

Alice Mason who has done a lot of running in Wellington managed to fend off a determined challenge from masters legend Sally Gibbs to claim the women’s NZ Marathon title in a time of 2.48.36 (Course record). 

The men’s championship title went to Scottish’s Stephen Day who ran the distance in a snappy 2.32.03. This time would put him well up there for his age group for 2017 performances.

Ruby Muir continues to impress hitting the Half Marathon finish line in 77.40 (Course record) to become the first female to finish. This placed her 13th overall out of field of 1018. Muir is clearly a running star.
