The ladders have been updated:
The Club Ladder has the results for the Club Cross Country Champs and the Sanders, Gough & Robbie cross country races. Diane Rogers has staked out a commanding lead in the Veteran Woman's ladder, as has John Frederikson in the Senior Men's ladder. However, both will still be extremely vulnerable if they miss an event! The other ladders remain wide open.
The Marathon Ladder has been updated with the results from the Harbour Capital Half Marathon, and the Gold Coast Full & Half Marathon. The ladder has now also been split into an official ladder for those who have completed at least one marathon, and an unofficial ladder for those who have not. But don't despair, there's still time to fit in a marathon before the ladder closing date of 31 August!

7 May 2003
The marathon ladder has been updated with the results from the Moonshine Half Marathon and the Rotorua Marathon. The competition at the top of the ladder is a lot closer than it looks at first glance.
While Andrew Shelley looks to have a clear lead with a score of 382, he has already accumulated 500 event points and his score can only get higher by running faster events to replace existing scores. Trevor Murphy (2nd) has a score of 268 from 300 event points, and Paul Homan (3rd) has a score of 199 from only 250 event points. Both have a realistic chance of taking the lead as they add more events to their total. Rounding out the top five places is Steph Mercer (4th) with a score of 186 from 300 event points, and last year's winner - Rob McCrudden - with a score of 177 from 258 event points.
4 May 2003

The Moonshine Half Marathon & 10k held today was a roaring success. This year saw a complete revamp of the event as we moved away from the previous three stage format, added a half marathon (with a huge hill), and opened the event to runners.
The response to these changes was fantastic - there were more than twice as many entrants as last year (511 vs 235), with a huge number of on-the-day entries. Congratulations to all competitors and thanks to all who helped with organisation and official duties.
Full results are on the Cool Running website.

Official results will be here, and the marathon ladder will be updated with the results of the half when they are available. (no longer available)
5 April 2003
The course for the Great Forest Full and Half Marathon had to be changed due to fire danger in the forest, but that didn't stop some good efforts by Trentham club members. Paul Homan put in a spectacular effort to record 3:09:16 in his first ever marathon! Peter Thomas won his age group in the half marathon. Other club members running or walking the half included Mark Bassett, Bill Barclay, Patrick Tito, and Anne Dry. The marathon ladder will be updated once official results are available.
29 March 2003
A quick round up of a few events over the past few weeks:
The inaugural Hutt River Trail Full and Half Marathon was held on 23 March. Trevor Murphy, Andrew Shelley, and Ross Archibald ran the marathon, with Trevor placing very highly in the field. Half marathon entrants included Paul Carlson, Jake Jacobsen, Robin Curry, Bill Barclay, Jo Drake, and Anne Dry. The marathon ladder will be updated when official results are available.
Martinborough 'Round the Vines on 16 March attracted a number of club members, with some very good results achieved. I don't know of everyone who entered, so my apologies if you're name is not on the list! In the half marathon run, Brian de Montalk was 7th and Trevor Murphy was 9th, with other entrants including Mark Bassett. Patrick Tito competed in the half marathon walk, and Geoff Iremonger was 5th in the men's 10km walk. Half marathoners send me your finishing time if you want this included in the marathon ladder.
The Hutt News 10k on 9 March attracted only a couple of club members, but they both placed very highly: Jo Field was 1st overall in the 10km walk, and Paul Carlson was 2nd in the 10km run.
15 March 2003
Congratulations to Andrew Shelley, who completed the 50 mile event at the Marlborough 50 today. Andrew says "it was very much a 'game of two halves'. I decided to take a risk and start off at my optimistic pace. I went through the marathon in a shade under 3:50, but then blew up and took 4:38:50 to go through 50k, and 8:21:39 for the 80 miles."
The marathon ladder has been updated.
12 March 2003

Congratulations to Steve Bligh, who completed the gruelling Tararua Mountain Race in a time of 8:09:03. While the rest of us enjoyed a warm sunny day, conditions on the tops were cold and windy. This race counts as the equivalent of a marathon for the marathon ladder competition.
4 March 2003
Final results for the Tote 5k series are here, with the Trentham results highlighted for easy identification.
2 March 2003
A DRAFT syllabus has been added. Note that the club events are indicative only - the committee is yet to confirm these dates. If you have a concern about any of the proposed dates, please talk to your favourite committee member (who may not have seen this yet)! The interclub and national championship events are correct as at today. However, there has been quite a bit of movement in some of the dates, and the date for the NZ Road Relay championships is not confirmed yet. This could result in changes to the rest of the syllabus late in the season.
24 February 2003
Our AGM was held tonight and a new committee was voted in. Congratulations to Viv Antcliff, our new President. The Club Captain's role is currently vacant. Details for key contacts in the club have been updated. The meeting also changed the club's name to recognise the important role that walkers play within the club.

Three club members took part in the first ever "alternate course" running of the Holdsworth Jumbo Trail Race. Due to extremely cold conditions on the tops, including snow and sleet, the organisers decided 40 minutes into the race to switch to the alternate course of Carpark - Mountain House - Powell Hut - Holdsworth - Powell Hut - Mountain House - Atiwhakatu River - Holdsworth Lodge. Times were Rob McCrudden, 2:24:02; Andrew Shelley, 3:08:27; Jan Bliekendaal, 3:51:06. Colin Rolfe was first home in 1:58:20.
