About the Event

A big Haere Mai to the Owairaka Athletics 5 Miler - 2022 edition! Steeped in tradition, this is possibly the only remaining 5-Miler distance race in New Zealand. This event is an historic race with roots back to the 1960s. The first name on the Bill Baillie Trophy which was up for grabs was Ivan Keats, dated 1962. Ivan started life as a steeplechaser and then turned to the marathon. He ran 2:18 which earned him a run at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Ivan sadly passed away in August 2020. Since then there have been an impressive list of great runners to have adorned the trophy- J Walker. B. Baillie, A. B. Magee. R. Maddaford. J. Julian. K. Ryan. J. Bowden. A. Audain. D. Warrander. H. Carson. J. Jackson. The Pat Munro Cup awarded to the fastest woman on the day is a newer trophy held from 2019 and 2020…
