Results (from Daryl dude)
Daylight saving is upon and so is the new 5K Waterfront
series sponsored by Mac’s Brewery (is that right?). The
course is still basically the same as before but with a new start/finish and
turnaround mark. The start will be
outside Mac’s Brewery, the new sponsor, on the East side of the footbridge.
Hopefully this should eliminate part of the pedestrian congestion that was a problem with the Chicago bar start.
As expected there was a good turnout for the inaugural run the
numbers boosted by a few serious runners needing a blowout before heading to the
National Road Relay (Akaroa) this coming weekend.
The event is a highlight for
many and when I took a peek at the entries there were a few names from the past who will have some good road relay stories to tell. There are also a number of individuals who have come out of the woodwork to compete which indicates that rewards and inducements have been offered (such as chocolate fish). This includes but is not limited to:
Sam Dobson, Liam
Scopes, Luke Hurring, Hayden McLaren, Elliot O’Sullivan, Shaun Farrell, Hassan
Noble, Terry Harlan, Margot Gibson, Nicholas Sasse, Brendan Quirke, Jake
Tennent, Greg Fraine, Dallas McCallum,
Paul Forster, Tony Woodhouse, Jenny Mason, Trevor Ogilvie, John Barrance, Gary Whiting,
Tony Good, John Sheddan, Jason Cameron, Joseph Bulbulia, Michael Wakelin, Rob
Mulcahy, Colin Earwaker, Brent Halley, Eddie Smith, Allan Williment, Declan
Wilson, Alice Feslier-Holmes.

I reckon the only reward or inducement to go to NZRR is the chance to take part in the best and most fun event of the year. And also the desire not to let your team down.
