A cold and breezy day greeting athletes competing in the Athletics Taranaki Road champs in Stratford yesterday. Many thanks to Stratford Runners & Walkers for allowing us access to their clubrooms and some equipment in order to host the championships. Thanks also to our members who helped on the day - we certainly couldn't run the event without you. Special thanks to our members Bryn and Felix who were unable to compete on the day, but still helped at the finish line. Thanks also to Nigel Cash for taking the photos! Results and photos below. ...

Just a quick reminder for those of you heading to Stratford for the Athletics Taranaki Road champs. Those running need to get their race number on their hands, ans walkers need to get two numbers to be place front and back. These will all be available inside Stratford R&W clubrooms. Also, please remember to bring a plate for afternoon tea. Many thanks ... See MoreSee Less

We had some great races from our athletes at the Athletics NZ cross-country champs today, despite the underfoot conditions being muddy after a day of rain on Friday. Lennox Dyer was our only medal winner, with a bronze medal in the U18 Women's 5000m. The next best placing was Kirstin Foley (W45) with 4th place with husband Nathan (M40) in 5th along with Sara Jury in the senior women's race. Tayla Sturgeon ran well for 7th place in the U16 Women's event and Cian Foley placed 8th in the U12 Boys 2000m.
All the best to our Taranaki athletes representing our centre at tomorrow's Athletics NZ Cross-country championships in chilly Christchurch. Bryn Espin - U16 Men Felix Field - U20 Men Lennox Dyer - U18 Women Sara Jury - Senior Women Tayla Sturgeon - U16 Women Oliver Foley - U18 Men Nathan Foley - Master Men 40 Kirstin Foley - Master Women 45
Also, good luck to club members who will be braving the cold. Brody Johnson (Egmont Athletics) and Cian Foley (Stratford R&W) ... See MoreSee Less
