Vosseler Shield
Mt Victoria
The Vosseler Shield - the last race of the Autumn classics and the first individual race on the inter-club calendar for those registered as a competitive athlete. A very tough race on Mt Vic with a long and proud history. The course can be tough if the weather has been dry, and tougher if the weather has been wet. Be prepared for some tough racing. Check out our inter-club page for info on this long standing classic race.
The clubrooms typically wouldn't be open today, however if there is a group not heading to Mt Vic but wanting to use the clubroom, you will need to organise yourselves.

Dorne Cup
Trentham Memorial Park
The start of winter, so likely cold, wet and muddy - glorious cross country weather! And to kick winter off we have The Dorne Cup - a cross country on our home ground and the second non-relay race on the inter-club calendar for those registered as a competitive athlete. This can be a very fast race if the conditions aren't too muddy, and if it is muddy requires a combination of speed and power. Well worth watching as it is quite a spectator friendly course. Check out our inter-club page for info on this long standing classic race.

University Cross Country Relays
Chocolate Walk
Mackays Crossing
We finally got to race on the weekend, with the Kapiti Coast turning on the weather for the University Cross Country Relay and Chocolate walk. Great turn out for TUH and some great results too.
Second year of the mixed teams format and once again was successful. Within that, our club captain Stephen generally opted to mix the abilty of most Trentham teams making for interesting competition within our club. And the results demonstrate how well he did. There was a cluster of Trentham teams in a row from 19th to 23rd, all within 2.5 minutes!
Our Juniors dominated their races, with gold in boys and girls U10 and the U14.

Faultline Ultra
Clubrooms, Trentham Memorial Park
Trentham Harriers experienced the highs and lows of ultra running this weekend.
Josh was the only one to toe the line for the miler but his current injuries surfaced a quarter way through so he pulled the pin at 57km.
Bethany, Hugh, Shar, Stephen and Tom all started the 100km distance. Bethany, Shar and Tom all completed the feat, knocking off their all-time longest runs. Shar ran 17:01 and placed 10th female, Bethany and Hugh ran 21:18, Tom ran 16:52. But heartbreak for Stephen - he made it 90km before stomach issues meant he could not continue.
Finally the Boyd brothers and Phil B teamed up and took 2nd place in the Teams Miler! Phil ran 34km in 3:13, Mark did 49km in 4:48, Jeremy and Tim closing out though I am unsure of their times.
Also an important mention to our supporting crew. We had the Polands, the Walkers, and others at aid stations assiting their runners, and special mention to Brian who clocked over 30km pacing in the middle of the night to help our runners. Amazing Brian, thanks!
Well done everyone. It takes a huge amount of training to even make the start. Then to put it all together on the day and push through the physical and mental barriers is a fantastic achievement.
Faultline Ultra results here.
