Records set to tumble in race

RICHARD DAVISON

This year’s Papatowai Challenge could see records tumble, as more than 400 recreational runners and walkers attend the popular Catlins event next Saturday. Although the entry list had yet to be finalised, race convenor Wayne Allen said he also expected several first class athletes to be taking part, vying to beat the 15.5km course records set in 2012 and 2006 for men and women respectively. A new running record for either gender would come with a prize jackpot of $640 this year, thanks to the generosity of the Rayner family, Allen said. ‘‘The pot total is creeping up each year, for which we’re very grateful to Lyn Rayner, now passed, and his family for maintaining the tradition.’’ The records are 51m 31s (Dougal Thor- burn), and 1hr 00m 23s (Anna Frost).
