Congratulations to Jane :D. Our Runner of the month for an outstanding performance at Taupo Half Marathon #Runnerofthemonth

Congratulations Mary for her PB of 20:57 at Parkrun on the 23rd of December, and 1st woman home! And Sue, who also had a busy season, running Auckland Marathon as a pacer (4.45) at the end of October, then the Omaha Half on the 10th of December, in under 2 hours... then the Suffer Half Ironman, with an off road run of 21Km at the end, just 6 days later. Phew! Hope you had a nice relaxing Christmas. #Runnerofthemonth

A huge Road Runners congratulations and recognition to Lex Chalmers who, despite his advancing years, continues to inspire and motivate runners of all ages with his can do, must do it today attitude to his chosen sport.

I, like a lot of people in the Club, are just in awe of what you are capable of

A huge congratulations this month goes to a very competent and motivated Gary Fieldes, for his excellent effort in completing the 24 Hour challenge at the Blue Lake in Rotorua with a final tally of over 100Km in the 24 hour period.

He is always ready to help out with whatever is needed. It is noticed by the members Kevin, so congratulations on your recent off road marathon, and for being this month's runner of the month. #Runnerofthemonth

It was a complete no brainer for the runner of the month this month. Lynda Brahne gave herself and her running compatriots a severe wake up call when she finished the 35km Waitomo trial run in a very credible 8hrs 7 minutes, bearing in mind there was more mud on the trail than there was trail.
