Its with much excitement that we are able to present the new Autumn Fun Run Series for 2017.

The dates for this are Thursday 16th, 23rd and 30th March, registrations from 5:45pm, and a slightly later start time.The venue is Otago University Rowing club on Magnet street (due to the cricket at Logan Park) with a fast, scenic, out and back course on the Ravensbourne cycle-way.

All 3 events will be there, for consistency and allow people to compare times from event to event if they wish.

There are a few major changes this year, to hopefully renew the interest in the series by providing a fresh course and race format, with rewards for every participant as the cross the finish line for each event. On the final night, there will be a prize-giving, with prizes from our fresh new sponsors, and hopefully a BBQ.

Club members: We would appreciate some assistance with marshaling (3 people please) each week, or registrations if you are not running. Please let the club know.
