This year Club Road Champs was held at the Eastside course.
Hawks had a great day out at the Redwoods relay, and the weather was gorgeous.
With over 30 Hawks members running a pleasing number of medals came our way.
There were some fast times and lots of positive feedback from athletes.
The sun was out and the 8k course set for what turned out to be a modest number of runners given the Taupo Marathon was on the same day.
Report by Lance Brew On Saturday we had a good 15 runners show up to see how well we can run without a heavy attachment on your wrist A WATCH! on […]
Fifteen Hawks athletes made the journey across to the Eastern Bay of Plenty to enjoy a warm dry day at the Te Teko racecourse.
This is an interesting and challenging course, through a range of pebbled, grassy and a little muddy pathways of the reserve. After around an hour of running, just 7 minutes difference covered all the team finish times.
The reasonably dry course allowed for some quicker times than recent years and the customary lake just before the finish was missing this year.
It was a perfect day in the Arboretum and most went for a full lap warm-up before teams were picked.
Lance led the way for the first 3 k before being overtaken by Kent and visitor Josh Nyika, with Josh just hanging on for the win.
The course was firm underfoot with not a speck of mud insight. The sun was shining but there was a strong breeze which made part of each lap more challenging.
Its not cross country unless its wet, soggy, sodden, muddy, damp, fast , lung bursting and did I mention fast?
Great results from Hawks this weekend at the Waihi Nugget.
Was held in ideal conditions on Saturday and 3500 athletes took part in in this well run event which included 1500 running a lap of the lake.
Trophy Day went well, with 40 runners. It was nice to see Zane along to watch.
More than 25 Hawks took part and it was pleasing to see the Hawks singlet so prominent. A mass start saw a number of options with run or walk over 3km, 6km or 9km.
