WUU2k
Wellington
Five of our trail runners headed into Wellington for the WUU2k. Whilst the weather was dicey out here in the Hutt, it was quite decent in the city, too bad previous rain had turned the course into a mudfest slog. It was a tough day out by all accounts.
In the 65km Ultra Stephen took 1st in the 60+ catagory by 3 minutes in 9:07, a tight race over such a long distance! 59th overall, well done Stephen! Philip came home in 9:54 and 25th in his category, with a big push to finish - just sneaking inside the 10 hour mark.
In the 45km trail marathon Tom had a cracking run finishing 15th in 4:58, and 10th in the open male category.
In the 21km "trail sprint" Madeline finished 1st female and 14th overall with a stellar time of 2:28. Sarah came home in 2:52, 10th female and 3rd in her category. Well done ladies, great runs!

Trentham Harriers were well represented at this event, with 27 juniors competing. Thankfully the weather was perfect and conditions underfoot started well, if ending a little slippery for the later races. The event ran smoothly, and this was in part to several of our adult club members who stepped in last minute to marshall, start and organise teams - a huge thank you to those people.
Congratulations to all those who competed, and especially to those who qualified for the final Inter-Regional event, which will be held in Christchurch in September.

Rhys Mair Memorial Trail Champs, Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
King & Queen of the Mountain, Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
The Rhys Mair Memorial Trail Champs was held on a lovely sunny afternoon. Too bad we spent most of the time slugging it out in the Keith George bush! The course was well prepared by Shar and Josh. It is treacherous at the best of times so a big thank you for the hours of clearing and marking. It's not easy work and improves our safety and enjoyment.
Brian took line honours, with new member Isla McPherson coming in first for the females and a fantastic 7th overall. Age adjustment is then applied to feed into our ladder results.
