Night Runners Shine: Dio Distance Runners Triumph at NZ 5km Road Race Championships
Indie Williams (10MP) and Hannah McManus (11MI) shone at the NZ 5km Road Race Championships, which was held alongside the Rotorua Marathon.
Running on the Rotorua airport runway at 7.30pm, guided only by runway lights, the two embraced the unique challenge.
Competing in the U16 Elite age-group category, Indie claimed the Gold medal and the National U16 title, with Hannah securing second place.
Congratulations to Indie and Hannah for setting a fine example for the Dio distance squad and our future athletes.
