Achilles Waikato Whanau just love Kirikiriroa Marathon, Hamilton so this morning while some of our Athletes and guides were on the startline others were helping out marshalling at the start finish area plus helping out with drinks to make sure all runners had a fantastic hydrated day...

Another awesome Sunday and a good turnout of happy faces for a walk, jog run or jiggle joggle around the jewel in the centre of Hamilton, our sparkling Lake.
Really good to see Ocean and Craig back at training as they build up for Taupo Marathon weekend in early August.
Who is going to join them ??

Just a reminder that Sunday training is still going ahead.
There is currently mainly fine but a chance of shower, but as the lake is a safe environment there are no plans to cancel.
We encourage everyone to arrive before our 8:30am start time so we can get underway smoothly
We’re looking forward to seeing you all there for another great session.
Ngā manaakitanga.
Best wishes,
