Running my first ever 10k in my life… it was nice to feel that every runners effort was actually appreciated and acknowledged, it was a very cool and inclusive event.
… enjoyed the laps as there was regular support on course
Camaraderie of having so many runners of different speeds coming together with one goal - to run fast.
I went to the inaugural event and the buzz around this one was so much greater! … Run Timaru have found an incredible event that they can get behind and feature to the country!
Extremely well run event, awesome morning tea.
Fantastic course and organisation that lead to a great PB!
