Wanaka half marathon with a ‘regional flavour’

Terry — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:07:44 +0000

The newsest half marathon to be held in New Zealand and finishing in Wanaka has a great new sponsor reflecting the wider region. The ‘Shoe Clinic, Southern Lakes, Half Marathon and 10k will become a must-do half marathon for many New Zealanders as it boasts the fastest and one of the most scenic courses to run down in the country.

Ed Stevens, Race director, says on a good day (they’re all good days in Wanaka) many of the runners should be setting PB’s.

Thanks very much to Primal Earth for supplying samples for all runners (female runners feel free to take one home for the man in your life).

Experience for yourself the benefits of a natural shave. May not make you run a lot faster on the up-hill sections of the course but it could earn you (the men I’m referring to here) valuable brownie points with the boss! (That would be your wife/partner/…)

Find some here and let me know what you think.

Export 33 supports Wanaka runners

Wanaka Skyline Challenge is proud to be associated with Export 33.

Every Runner (over 18yrs) of the Wanaka Skyline Challenge, Hillend Gutbuster and also the half marathon (April 11th) will be given a free Export 33!!

Export 33 is brewed longer, which takes out almost all the sugars, making it
less filling. So you get all the enjoyment and taste of a smooth, satisfying
beer, but without that heavy, bloated feeling.

Extremely smooth, crisp taste with a slightly dry finish
on the palette. 4.6% alcohol content, and contains all natural ingredients – no additives or
preservatives.

“An easy drinking beer that goes perfectly with sun,
mates, good times and fresh BBQ food.” Yep- and
that will pretty much sum up the day- not to
mention how much better it’ll taste after the effort
exerted on the Mountain Run!!

4.6%- make sure you have a sober driver to take you home!

Annies dried fruit energy bars for all runners…

Annies dried fruit snacks have come to the party and are very generously donating a Fibre Fruit bar for each competitor. They sound great- I better go buy some and try them out on some training runs so I can make some informed comments about them before race day!
