A prominent member of the 1980s and 1990s Graeme Harris passed on the weekend at age 77. Graeme at one time managed the Runners World franchise in Lower Hutt. He played a big design role in the 75th Jubilee celebrations, designed the 1990s era club uniform and was the initiative behind the 1990 Jasper-Banff Relay trip. His funeral is on Friday in Waikanae and the details are available on line. Regards Owen Lenihan Life Member.

No pack run on Saturday due to Perston Baton Relay in Karori. Details below:

Perston Baton Relay Race
Saturday 20 September
Karori Park
1.45pm
(racing to follow once teams are all sorted)
This club event is a cross country relay that is held at Karori Park. It is a fun event with some close racing usually prevailing.
The winning team members receive a Baton, and have their names engraved on the Trophy to commemorate this event.
A 5 lap event, the race uses a circuit of about 2.3km around Karori Park. It is mostly a grass course, but contains a tough hill at the back of the course, and a stream crossing. All grades are catered for with the first and third runners of each team completing one circuit, the second and fourth completing two, and the fifth runner completing three (although some teams choose to mix up the order). (Note this is subject to change depending on who turns up on the day.) The club meets at the park where the club handicappers & selectors pick the teams.
