New Zealand Road Relay Championships, Taupo Motorsport Park


This year the National Road Relay Champs was hosted on the Taupo Motorsport racing track, entirely off public roads. This allowed for younger runners to compete which was fantastic. Trentham United took advantage of this and entered three teams, two being U14 and U16. We had some amazing runs and walks with our walkers kicking off the day with victory in the non-championship walk. The U14 boys backed this up with a convincing vistory in their race, and the mixed U16 crew competing in the boys grade claiming 8th.

MU14:
1st - James Wallace, Caleb Wallace, Matthew Meiklejohn

MU16 (We fielded a mixed team):
8th - Zoe Hilton, Bair Waldrom, Jacob Rice, Maddison Wos

Walkers:
1st - Clive McGovern, Richard Willis, Jackie Wilson, John Roskvist

The event was a lot of fun and we are already looking forward to next years event.



Saturday 21 September 2024
Mangaroa Circuit, Lane Street


The final ladder race of our club season was an emotional race. Everyone set out on their ambitious handicap start times chasing down those in front, and listening for approaching steps from behind. Victory went to Tom Poland and Shar McDonald. Congratulations you two, both puffing hard when you went powering past your webmaster.

Full race results click here.

Our annual prizegiving was held after the race with everyone donning their glad rags to celebrate their achievements for the season and have a good catch-up. The packed out clubroom listened to short but excellent speeches by our club captan and president, just how we like them!! Food devoured, trophies in hand, we all headed home.

Well done on a banger season everyone. Our Monday night's are paying dividends, the club is growing and our culture and community is fantastic. Look forward to seeing you all again soon.
