President's address, delivered by Tim Morrison at the Owairaka Athletics AGM, 19 May 2026

Two of our members, Keith Burrows and Ketina Chivasa recently took part in this event representing New Zealand. And they did very well! Ketina completed 191.285 km and came 24th overall. Keith, who is current national champion for this discipline, finished the 24 hours with 225.161 km coming 17th and was the top performing Kiwi runner. Well done to both of them. I think you will agree that they have more than earnt their place on the wall of national reps in the club rooms!

Jo, Kathleen and Dion ran London and had heaps of fun.
