Saturday, 3 Nov 2018, 13:45 to 15:00: Club run / walk - West Wind Farm Makara, Opau Rd×
Come along for a run or walk at the scenic West Wind Recreation Area by Makara this Saturday. Meet at 1:45 for a 2pm start at the car park at the end of Opau Rd.
There are plenty of loops to run with great views across Cook Strait, old gun emplacements to explore, and there's even mobs of goats to run through. Based on last year's trip you can even rest up on the beach while Michelle tries to take a short cut by climbing straight up a cliff!
We will have running and walking groups for all ages and abilities. This is a great place to take the kids exploring.
Head to the café at Makara Beach afterwards for refreshments.
4.45 pm – 10000 metres B race

This will be a select field of 30 runners from all over NZ with pacemakers including Hamish Carson and the aim ( weather depending!) of running some very extremely fast times. There is even talk of some athletes looking to run under 30 mins that has not been seen in Wellington for over 25 years!
Along with this there will be the cream of NZ Junior runners looking to run a qualifying times for World XC Champs.
After the main race we will look to run 2 more 10k races where runners can look to run fast times.
As well as this there will be a BBQ and the bar will be open.
Online entry information for all 3 races will be posted next week on the AW web page.
Once again thanks to Stephen Day and Nick Hospool for driving this event and Carl Hasting form The Agency Group for kindly offering to sponsor the event that we hope will become a regular fixture on our calendar
