First up, out of town competitors should be congratulated for turning up in Masterton as it is not the easiest place to get to. I presume that next year's road champs will also be in Masterton if Athletics NZ sticks to it's current policy of staying with champ location for two tears in a row.

The various races were run over a 1 kilometre circuit right in the centre of Masterton, with a McDonalds in spitting distance. Cones were placed well away from the footpaths so it was a good running surface although the turns would have been tight. The lap configuration made the races excellent for spectators, especially the local residents who basically safely stayed inside. 

The event was well organised by Athletics Wellington and the local Masterton club but the deceptively warm conditions would have been felt by competitors.

As a general observation competitor numbers were low, not that anybody seems to be worried.  The U20 Men's race had 7 starters while there was only one entrant for the U20 women's race.

I did not photograph the walking races or the first two running races (Masters Women and Masters Men) but have posted below some images from the Men's U18, Men's U20 and the Senior Men's and Women's 10k.  I won't post any pics from the two kids races even though I have some.
