Happy New Year!
Coming up on the running and walking scene in the next few months ....
there's the NBS Nelson Striders annual Maitai Six O'Clock Summer Series starting on Tuesday January 12th and continuing for the following 3 weeks.
THE PROGRAMME
Tuesday January 12 3km. Start Waahi Taakaro - Walkers 6.00pm. Runners 6.05pm.
Tuesday January 19 3km Turkey Trot. Estimate your time and leave your watch at home.
Tuesday January 26 5km
Tuesday February 2 10km
All are ideally placed leading up to 'Buller' on February 12th.
But beforehand, next week's NBS Nelson Striders Half Marathon on Sunday January 10th celebrates the Striders 'encounter' with a wild boar up the Maitai Valley Road back in 1994. From it the Trevor Ruffell Tusk Trophy (aka 'The Boar's Jaw') which has become one of the most 'hotly' contested titles on the Nelson calendar, being awarded to whoever can run or walk nearest their estimated time - without a watch.
Will it be you who takes home the 'swinehead silverware' to adorn your mantelpiece? Entry form is attached to be on the startline.
Further on but not that far away is the Kaiteriteri Gold Half Marathon and 10km. On March 20th - enter online or by post.

All the best for 2010.

About the Nelson Women's Activator Series
Take part in one or more of a series of training and information sessions to get women active and involved in summer events.
Get fit and get into swimming, mountain biking, running and walking, sea swimming, road cycling, and even triathlons. There are weekly training sessions covering differing sports. Alongside these training sessions participants can attend information sessions on nutrition, how to purchase and wear the correct clothing and footwear, and stretching and injury prevention.
The Women's Activator Series aims to be an affordable way to introduce women to a new physical activity. You can focus on one of the sporting activities on offer, or work on several and build up completing a 10km Run/Walk, a half marathon or even the Taylors Nelson Womens Triathlon.
