Lifestyle Sports Waterfront 5k Fun Run and Walk Series, August 2010 - April 2011 Lifestyle Sports Waterfront 5k Fun Run and Walk Series, Chicago Bar, 7 September 2010 A new course record! Hamish Carson, the current NZ 1500m champion, broke his own course record with an outstanding time of 14min 45sec in tonight's 6th Lifestyle Sports Waterfront 5k. For breaking the record, Hamish collected a $250 cash bonus prize. Stefan Smith, the current Wellington road and cross country champion, set a fast pace from the beginning, building up a sizeable lead. However, Hamish's renowned finishing speed saw him catch Stefan close to the finish, for a 3sec victory. Stefan was very disappointed to lose, as is the case with competitive runners. His disappointment added to the disappointment arising from the cancellation (due to the earthquake) of the NZ road championships which were meant to be held in Christchurch last Saturday. Hayden Shearman finished 3rd, with a sharp time of 15min 32sec. Tina Harris was the fastest women with an excellent time of 16min 58sec, partly making up for her disappointment at missing the NZ road championships. Gabby O'Rourke (17.34) and Stephanie Mackenzie (17.52) had great runs for 2nd and 3rd. Tim Dutton (28min 29sec) and Terri Grimmett (31min 51sec) won the walking races for a remarkable 6th straight time. Overall 164 keen runners and walkers fronted, a record turnout for this series, close to our all time record of 177. Tonight's weather was almost perfect, with clear sky and light winds). If this great weather continues, then breaking the record of 177 is a real possibility. With a number of Wellington's faster runners turning up tonight, the merit prizes are likely to be closely contested. The three males and three females with the lowest aggregate times over their best four performances over the first 10 weeks of the series (3 August to 5 October) will win cash prizes (First $300, Second $150, Third $50). A big thanks to our sponsors - in particular Lifestyle Sports for the weekly gift voucher and Chicago Sports Cafe for the free drink afterwards and bar tabs as spot prizes. Lifestyle has a very extensive range of running shoes. If you can't get to the shop in Tawa, send Manager Karen an email. She would be more than happy to answer your questions or source a pair of your favourite shoes. To encourage participation there will be a competition which will reward the people that complete the most races in the 15 weeks from 14 September 2010 to 21 December 2010. We look forward to seeing you all back again in the coming weeks. Spread the word around your friends and workmates. Issue a few challenges and then enjoy some post race analysis over a beer. If you spot any errors with our results, please email Todd Stevens. ResultsLifestyle Sports Waterfront 5k Series, August 2010 - April 2011: Series results.

History of the 5k series We began these 5k series in the spring of 2000 (August and September), with a double loop course around Thorndon. In those days the name sponsor was Magills (a now defunct pub on Thorndon Quay). The idea of the spring series was to get people ready for road racing (such as the road relays). This course required lots of marshalls because of all the road crossings. In the autumn, we changed to course to a single out-and-back along the Old Hutt Road - no road crossings. The idea of the timing was to get people endurance-fit for winter sports (including harriers!). That's the way it stayed for several years, except we moved the start out to the end of the retail area (beside the paint shop) to provide a wider footpath with fewer vehicles crossing. After Magills folded, Bodyworks took up the name sponsorship for a season. In Autumn 2005, we moved to the waterfront and a new name sponsor (Lifestyle Sports, who remain as a sponsor) with a course around the Overseas Passenger Terminal and out to Oriental Bay and straight back, starting from the brewery on Taranaki Wharf. Then in August 2005, we began a longer Spring series under the name sponsorship of the Loaded Hog, an out-and-back course to the end of Oriental Bay starting from outside the kayak and climbing store. The Loaded Hog also provided a congenial location after the race to hold a prize giving and relax while rehydrating. |
