Twilight Track Meets

Scottish is again organising 5 twilight track meetings over the course of the summer. The next meeting is on Wednesday 14 December. These are really fun, low-key events, open to anyone who wants to try out track racing or sharpen up for other events — it would be great to see a good Scottish turnout to support the event.

Without volunteers, these events do not happen — Andy Ford is looking for help on the night with jobs including a starter (training provided!) and finish recorder. Let Andy know if you can help at any of the events.

WAI Run Fest, 10 December

The WAI Run Fest is a Wairarapa running festival from the organisers of the WUU2K. The WAI2K courses (46km, 60km, 80km and 100km) start in Featherston and are described as tough physical and mental challenges. This year three new events have been added (Mt Climbie repeats, 24km and 12km). These three all take place in the Tunnel Gully Recreation Area, Upper Hutt, which is where all the events finish. For younger members, U18s can enter the 12km with parental/supervisor permission.

Scottish Night of Miles, 17 December

The Lifestyle Sports Scottish Night of Miles is a unique event full of Christmas fun that is taking place at Newtown Park on Saturday, 17 December and features races over the rarely run distance of one mile.

Each year we collect donations ($5 suggested) from athletes and spectators then hand them on to a local Wellington charity. 2022’s charity is the Wellington City Mission.

We are also grateful to our event sponsor, Lifestyle Sports, who are a long-standing supporter of Scottish Athletics and one of the premier retailers of running kit within the region.

The programme consists of a mix of children’s, senior elite and fun social events. There are several different mile races, including elite men’s and women’s races and an all-comers mile that anyone can participate in (including Father Christmas).
