Hi
Meet at Whangarei Girls High School gym carpark at 7.45, leaving at 8am.

For the 8 people going to nelson next weekend please keep an eye on this post. I cannot stress enough that we are going to the south island where it is cold at night, and it is so important that you bring practical clothes. Please bring lunch for Thursday as we will be on the plane at 12.30.

Any special race food needs to be bought by the individual, however we do have access to a supermarket on the thursday.

Anyone wanting to waych  the event please go to the Go-4-12 website and there is a link to the tracking systems that they use. Please dont send me texts asking why our team has made that turn, as I have no idea.

Hi WARTS


This local event is coming up. It looks really exciting and like an epic opportunity to have a good run in our back yard. I will not be organizing this but feel free to run it with other WARTS. Good to support local.

Congrats for ARC

Well done to everyone who participated in what was another fabulous event run by the team at ARC. It is always a worthwhile and exciting course that they put together and this year did not disappoint. Everyone got alot out of this weekend. A good place to see where you are at individually but also where you are placed within the team.

A huge congrats to Loche, Zoe and Crum who took out the schools division for the 8 hour section. Sounds like it was a photo finish, and I hope someone got a picture of it. Welldone, super proud of you all.

Thank you to the parents who went along for the ride and to Callum. Also a huge thanks to Regent New World for fueling our teams over the finish line. Hopefully I will get some photos coming in soon.
