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.

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.

Eric Putter Memorial Relay
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Another classic Eric Putter Memorial Relay event - great turnout, the rain cleared, everyone was in good spirits, and the club captains very challenging predicted times lifted people's preformances. A bit of chaos pre-race as members tried to find their teams, a great way to meet our newer members and get everyone involved! Then the usual exasperation about how your predicted time was too fast, but true to form, many people lift their game and exceeded expectations. The whole club cheering everyone through the finish chute is fantastic too. What a great event for our club. Well done everyone for participating and making it the success it was. Big thanks to Rachel and Scott for organising the prize too.
The winning team was Team 8:
Taya Hines
Olivia Boyd
Isobel Franklin
Kevin Fink
David Hood

Vosseler Shield
Mt Victoria
Compared to last year's mud-fest, this year the Vosseler Shield was held in far more pleasant conditions. Having said that, the race takes no prisoners and there was bloody knees and legs aplenty. Post race commentary showed everyone had a tough day out there but I saw smiles on some folk who nailed PB's and achieved good results. Well done everyone.
Trentham United fielded the most teams of all the regions clubs with 15! Trentham United runners bagged five victories, all in the juniors - Taya Hines in Women U10, Nikos Kapoutsos in Men U12, Madison Wos in Women U16, Callum Wos in Men U18, and Max Poland in Mens U20.
The whole club had great success at this years Vosseler as we placed second in the Barry Everitt Plate. We have never placed higher than fourth and are typically fifth so this was a stand out result that everyone contributed to! Check this out.
I'll also make a special mention of our U10 boys and girls. We have a great group coming through which is exciting to see for the club. I hope you all enjoyed your blast around this famous Mt Vic race and we look forward to seeing you enjoy and develop your running.

University Cross Country Relays
Chocolate Walk
Mackays Crossing
Another fantastic turn out for Trentham United. The weather has been fairly good so the course was hard packed and quite fast. There was a great vibe on coast with the music pumping and everyone enjoying the racing. Our open relay team scored a fantastic win, and our U10 boys and girls are running extrememly well! Exciting for the club.
The brand new format of mixed teams was trialed and it seemed to be very successful. Within that, our club captain Stephen further opted to mix the abilty of most Trentham teams rather than ranking teams from fastest. With so many competitors I have just list our 3 highest placings.

Christchurch Marathon
Christchurch
The Watsons headed South to take on the Christchurch Marathon. Both have trained hard for this weekend, Rachel in particular putting in a very focused, long build up. It is pleasing to write both had fantastic races, Chris running 3:18:47 and Rachel smashing her PB with 3:46:39! That knocked over 15 minutes off Rachel's club marathon record! Lola also chipped in with the 10km race crossing in 1:05:16. Awesome racing team Watson!
20 April 2024
Faultine Ultra
Wellington
The inaugural Faultline took place over the weekend. We had 8 hardy TUH runners hit the trails to take on some big personal challenges. Hugh Taylor and Mark Boyd went for the big one - the miler. First timers at this distance, they both started at 5am Saturday morning and finished Sunday mid-morning. Mark completed the 160km in 28 hours 2 mins, Hugh in 29 hours 10 mins. Absolutely astounding achievements.
Brian Garmonsway and Philip Secker took on the 100km distance, also first timers at this distance. Brian had a great race winning by over an hour in 11:46:10. Philip ran 16:30:06 and placed second in the 50-59 group.
Sarah Tobin, Gary Spierling, Shar McDonald and Bethany Walker ran the 160km team relay placing 6th in 22:27:26. All had tough sections, three running in darkness for some/all of it, and some crewing through the night too!
Jeica Espanol a new member to the club took on the 24km distance, completing in 3:12. Great work!
Everyone was out of their comfort zone, sleep deprived, and nailed it - all commenting on the great support from the club. What a fantastic weekend for the club.
Write ups from our participants:
Mark Boyd 160km
The opportunity to participate in an inaugural trail running event in the Wellington region was too much to pass up. The Faultline event offered a range of distances, not sure why I thought I had to enter the 100 miler though. Entering and paying the entry fee was the easy bit. Even doing the training wasn’t too bad. Actually finishing the thing, that was tough.
Wellington turned on a really good day for the event. The weather was great and I enjoyed some good running through to Totara Park and along the Belmont hills. As I approached Porirua my legs decided they no longer liked running downhills. This would prove problematic with a couple thousand meters of vert remaining. Some real consideration was given to pulling out but I decided to push on. The nighttime views of Wellington and the sounds of Ruru and Kiwi as I entered Makara provided temporary relief from the pain as did the support at the aid stations. Miles of dark forest trails transitioned into sunrise filled roads through the city. The finish line was getting closer but the race organisers appeared to have made it a goal to climb every hill in the city. After the final climb out of Berhampore golf course, and the final climb up around Mt Albert, and the final climb around the Zoo and the final climb up Mt Vic and the final climb on the downhill from Mt Vic (!) it was out on to Oriental Parade. A forced walk (all my legs would allow) along the waterfront was a fitting way to finish off 28 hours of ‘running’.
A number of club members took part across the variety of distances offered at the event. While we may have all had different experiences out on course, a common theme was the impact that the support from our club members had. Having super helpful teammates running the aid station at Totara Park was great as was the continued support and encouragement offered by club members throughout the day (and night!).
It was a really great event and I’ll probably give it a go again next year, maybe in a relay team though. And remember, pain is temporary, but you get to wear the finishers t-shirt for a while!
Hugh Taylor 160km
The goal of the day was to get to the finish and enjoy as much of it as I could… goal achieved. I spent the whole 29 hours with a friend who was also participating which made the time pass so much quicker, this wasn’t pre planned but after keeping in touch during the build up it only took a few kilometres together at the start and we realised that we may as well knock it out together while having as much banter as possible. The glory of Trentham Harriers shined through with so many of us either participating, helping at aid stations or crewing. What did I eat for fuel?: cheeseburgers, snickers, crunchie bars, lollies, chippies, biscuits & 3am ham and cheese toasties… Can’t wait to see more members sign up for the miler next year!
Brian Garmonsway 100km
I found this to be an epic and crazy run through the trails and mountain bike tracks around Wellington finishing on the waterfront, amazing they could make this complicated event happen.
For my first 100k it was a hard ask but my mind and body held up really well, the months of decent k's paid off and I managed to come away with the win and no real issues, although I did go through some highs and lows.... which I expected. Awesome knowing I had other Trentham runners sharing the trails and not really comprehending Mark and Hugh tackling the miler, amazing!!
Philip Secker 100km
In some ways I was lucky in that I had done my longest Ultra only back in December, so I had an idea of what pain lay ahead. First surprise was that I was over half an hour ahead of the Porirua hub, and just missed seeing my wife, Teresa. From there everything went well and then I hit Makara MTB park. On the second loop I mistook a turning and ended up going down a nasty advanced trail, only to go well off course. Eventually I found my way to a road, and after asking directions got back on course.
Things ticked over nicely, getting perpetually thirsty and walking a lot more. Getting swooped by a Ruru and hearing Kaka was nice. Good to change shoes at Scottish even though my calves cramped a bit in the process. From then on it was about counting down the kms until the end at 3am. Teresa had been there 2hrs! Very happy with that, especially being second in the oldies.
“Wannabe Milers” (160km team relay): Sarah Tobin, Gary Spierling, Shar McDonald and Bethany Walker
Sarah Tobin (Queen Elizabeth Park to Totara Park)
It started with a cold, dark and confusing morning at Queen Elizabeth Park with Mark, Hugh and the rest of the miler runners we were off at 5am. We began our journey with some steady inclines but I knew those steep gradients were coming. My leg of the race had 3 steep climbs followed by some nice down hills. Getting to the top of the pram track felt good as I was back on familiar ground and then valley view road gave me more confidence as I knew exactly how far to go. Cannon point had usual amazing views and running down 3 skulls was a breeze. Loved running through to Tusla Park to see all the Upper Hutt crew and my team there including my family.
Gary Spierling (Tulsa Park to Porirua)
After Sarah ‘passed the baton’ off to me at Tulsa Park, Totara Park, I set off on my 45km journey. Starting out with a nice flat 14km section to Dry Creek I was feeling good. Could almost call it my “Gazza Sprint '' of the leg haha. Boulder Hill through to Takapau gave out some spectacular views, lucky as this section was possibly the toughest. There was a considerable amount of ‘short & steep’ up hills especially from the Normandale MTB park to the down hill into Takapau. The final 6km to Bishop Viard, in Porirua, was interesting. Running with all my hydration, nutrition and compulsory gear packed on my back, in the middle of the day through Cannons Creek seemed a bit out of place. I was very happy to ‘pass the baton’ to Shar at Porirua, stoked to complete my leg in a smidge under 6hour (5hrs 57m to be precise).
Shar McDonald (Porirua to Makara MTB Park)
My race started after Gary crossed the timing mat and handed the race onto me just before 4pm, heading up behind the hill of Viard college toward colonial knob, where you wind up 5kms of mtb tracks to get to the top, then up farm tracks towards the skyline, the views are something else up there, knowing I had limited light made me take a good pace forward, I loved passing people doing the full milers and having a quick yarn about how they are feeling and how their days been. Had 4 horses gate keeping on top of one of the hills right on sundown which was magic getting to climb the gate while giving them a pat. Head torch was on just after 6pm. At one point I lost the track round the side of a hill instead of over and up another while chatting to someone, lucky a kid up the top screamed down to us in the dark to get us back up and over on our way, time flew up there and was good to see some familiar tracks from recces with the team. Hit Makara mtb tracks and time seemed to slow, was looking forward to handing the race onto Bethany after lapping round there, tagged to her at 10.38pm clocking in 6hrs 44 for 49kms! Epic day out with the team and can’t wait for next year!
Bethany Walker (Makara to Wellington Waterfront)
No pressure, I had the job of running it home for the team starting at 10:40pm! Running on mountain bike tracks can be tough enough in the daylight, let alone in pitch black with the native birds squawking at you to get off their turf at this ridiculous time of the night. This leg involved many ups and downs, climbing Mt Albert, Mt Vic and who knew Wellington had a Mt Alfred but I climbed that too! On fresh legs but a sleep deprived mind after crewing Hugh all day in his miler, I definitely had empathy for the many 100km and milers I passed during the night. As some of them shuffled (or stumbled) along the track and saw me running past I did my best to reassure them I was part of a team and they were doing exceptionally well just to be putting one foot in front of the other at this stage of the race. With 2km to go I popped out from the wilderness onto Oriental Parade and pushed it home for a 3:30am finish for the team. The trail running community is one of a kind. Although there was a great sense of achievement to cross the line for the team, the real enjoyment was all the support along the way, from members of the club on the aid station at Totara Park earlier in the day, families of our runners, and the atmosphere. To my team, the “Wannabe Milers” you are the best. We have spent many hours prepping for this event, climbed many hills and laughed a lot. On to the next adventure.. but we probably should get into this harriers season and tone it back to some cross country and road racing fun.

Waitarere Forest Run
Waitarere Forest
Anne Dry and Gary Spierling took part in the Waitarere Forest Run both completing half marathon distance, Anne walking and Gary running. Anne has battled a few injuries and not participated in the event since 2021 so was pleased to toe the line. She crossed in 5:14 showing determination and grit to complete the event. It's easy for a lot of us to only look at the fast times but everyone has their own challenges to overcome and should be congratulated on their efforts. Well done Anne.
Gary has ticked off another half marathon in quest to complete 50 by 50, clocking in a 1:51. A good "taper" run befor the faultline ultra next week. Keep it up Gazza!
