A successful day for Team Frontrunner at scenic_circles_backyard_ultra . Last minute entry and impromptu 15 laps (100.5km) for Ben. First Backyard Ultra for Ben and Martina. And Grace's first running race

Shoe choice 👟:
Asics Blazeblast during the day trails

The impressive battery life of the Coros Apex proved itself. After 15hrs including heartrate monitor the watch still had 63% battery power remaining!

What has our staff member Kirsty been up to the last 2 Fridays ? Walking different tracks to fundraise for the rescue helicopters !!

Last year her partner had to be airlifted to Christchurch hospital and Kirsty thought this would be an awesome way to give back to this amazing service. During the month of August there is a fundraiser called back to base. Kirsty and her friend Melissa are walking/running 155km for the month of August and each Friday have different tracks planned to help get those kms in !

The first Friday was The Whitehorse in Waimate and today they did the loop at Kakahu Bush ... Gorgeous day for it too !

Check out their photos and if you'd like to donate or read their story click the link below, they appreciate everyone that has donated and supported them so far 🤩
