Ruby's UCAN2 Success

Congratulations Ruby (R19, Totara House) on your 3rd placing in the Super Sprint Triathlon on Sunday 11 March. A superb effort against a top field. Great preparation for the Nationals at Karapiro in April. We wish you all the best!

Colville Connection

Congratulations to Hugo (R18, Totara) and Jack (R36, Rata House), who competed in the 42km Moutain Bike Marathon - THE COLVILLE CONNECTION. A superb effort by two young competitors. Check out the photographs and event description below.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

It's a solid 42km and not for the faint hearted; with steep climbs, single track and gnarly descents this one is for the genuine trail junkie however throw in mix of technical running skills and some kiwi 'can-do' attitude this is an achievable outing for those who don't mind a long walk/run by the beach, great views and going solo. The majority of the course is on private land, not normally accessible to the public - so that's pretty cool!
