Race results


 

Andy and Sally Jeyes continue their adventures in New Zealand with Andy completing his 250th parkrun at Picturesque Dunedin.

The next day, team Jeyes took part in the New Zealand Masters Games 12K which is incorporated into the Port Road Race. This race was first run in 1904 and claims to be the oldest race in the Southern Hemisphere, and is still run on the original course.

The race took place on a warm sunny morning and incorporates three major hill climbs in the first 5K. Sally had a storming run to finish in 1:15:26 and was first in her age category and won a Gold medal. Andrew finished in 56:32 to finish second in his age category to claim Silver.

Just three days later, both Andy and Sally continue to dominate down under with New Zealand Masters 5K Road Race on the cool evening of the 7th Feb. Gold once again for Sally in her age group in a time of 27:51 and Gold for Andy in his first race as a V70 In a time of 21:15. Well done Team Jeyes, a true inspiration for us all!
