About the Event
Owairaka Athletics was founded in 1943 and this year, we turn 80 so we are going to celebrate in style with a mid winter road mile. At stake are the Joe Giles Mile Trophies awarded to the fastest male and female club milers on the day. Joe was one of Arthur Lydiard's neighbours who always had a dream to run a downhill mile along May Road. We won't be running May Road this year but we will be running downhill and it's one way... so fast times are guaranteed!
Please RSVP so we know how many are coming. Then on the day, meet at the club house at 8.30. We will walk, jog or skate up to the start, which is near the skate park at Valonia. The mile course heads down the bike path towards Pac'n'Save Mt Albert. The start is downhill then it flattens off. Then we'll head…
