The day would not have been possible without the amazing efforts of Mrs Paula Dore for supporting with marshalling and team managing and our whānau help from Rebecca, Nicki, and Madlen. Thank you again for all of your work.
Well done to the following athletes for achieving a top three finish in 2023:
