Christmas Rogaine
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park


A modest turn out this year, but still great fun and competitive. Lots of exasperated runners wondering how on earth Scott managed to navigate every single control for maximum points this year. First time that has been achieved I believe. Well done Scott!

WAI2k
Tunnel Gully or Greytown


This years group of Trentham harriers hit Gareth's WAI Runfest, taking on 25km, 50km and 100km distances over the Tararua's and Pakuratahi hills. We had a few first timers take on the challenges of the trails too.

In the 100km ultra, Josh brought his recent good form to take 2nd place in 11:57, narrowingly holding off third place by 4 minutes. It was a hectic descent on Mt Climie to secure his place! Hugh nailed a huge PB with 14:28 for 14th, and Kev followed just behind for 15th in 14:42. Great work Kev, big mahi.

In the 50km ultra, Edd fought hard, holding first for a while but succumbed on one of the steep uphills, eventually claiming 2nd in 5:11. Our enduring club captain is steadiy transforming from successful roadie to successful trail runner - Stephen took 1st in the 60+ Supervet category in 7:27, well over 3 hours ahead. Shar's knee held together, she took 24th overall in 7:56 and Phil B took 25th in 8:00. Some very gritty runs by these folk.

In the 25km distance Gary 3:15, Sarah followed in 3:16 (5th in category), Carl B (first timer) 3:33, Bethany 3:50 (after mega early wake up to support Hugh), and Lisa 3:58. Fantastic running everyone.

Our annual Remutaka Rail Trail Run & Walk event was a fantastic success. Our main fundraising event was held in mild conditions.

Big thanks to the organising committee and all our volunteers and participants for all helping the day run smoothly. Looking forward to see you all return for next years event!
