Marathon Championship
CLUB KIWIFRUIT FUND RAISING PICK As reported in Ramblings newsletter, 6th June, 1992. The annual Shallcross kiwifruit pick was once again offered to Tauranga Ramblers to give our funds a much needed boost so that we can subsidise club days, Bar-B-Q’s, Pinto, buses, newsletters and travel to major events. All in all club members receive more than their subscriptions cover, therefore we need full support from all participants for our fund-raising efforts. The club is very appreciative of the chances to earn this money and a special thanks go to Bill and Marge Shallcross for this fruit picking opportunity. It certainly beats selling raffle tickets and gives us the chance to do something other than one’s usual job or studies. It is quite an education especially the way different people see the hairy berries – their shapes and sizes I’ll leave to your imagination. Colin Clifton commented that it was a change from working alone. Teresa Coston was certainly the noisiest and Kristin McLoughlin one of the quietest, but it was good to see everyone turn out. Some brought their spouses, or sons and daughters. Robyn Bint did a great job removing all the kiwifruit stalks. Marge did a great job of keeping the team fed, while Nigel Hines had done an absolutely fantastic job chasing along all members he could find. Over the two days we picked 162 bins compared to 166 last year. Unfortunately we couldn’t quite finish but Ramblers received $1400.00 for the two day’s work. Once again special thanks to Bill, Marge, Debbie, Russell, Rob Shallcross and his in-laws and to Nigel and Sheryl Hines for their organisation.

In school, he ran and boxed, but was most interested in rugby football. Because of the Great Depression of the 1920’s, Lydiard dropped out of school at 16 to work in a shoe factoryc. Lydiard figured he was pretty fit until Jack Dolan, president of the Lynndale Athletic Club in Auckland and an old man compared to Lydiard, took him on a five-mile training jog. Lydiard was completely exhausted and was forced to rethink his concept of fitness. He wondered what he would feel like at 47, if at 27 he was exhausted by a five-mile run. Lydiard began training according to the methods of the time, but this only confused him further. At the club library he found a book by F.W. Webster called “The Science of Athletics.” But Lydiard soon decided that the schedules offered by Webster were being too easy on him, so he began experimenting to find out how fit he could get.

From Whence We Came
From Whence We Came _________________________________________________________________________________________ The marathon took its inspiration from one of the greatest athletic feats in history.

But the The first “City of Christchurch International Marathon” inspiration for this most classic of challenges hails back to a mythical Greek messenger named Pheidippides. Depending on which of history’s great bards you believe, Pheidippides ran 24 miles between Marathon and Athens to announce an Athenian victory in the Battle of Marathon. Upon delivering the message he dropped down dead, and so was born the great nobility of long distance running and the challenge they eventually dubbed “the marathon.” It was that great tale that inspired the first Olympic marathon and a quarter of a century later a similarly inspiring race took place right here in Christchurch. Like the marathon itself, the Christchurch Marathon ______________________________________________ was inspired by one of the greatest races in history; n With so many world class runners in the marathon field the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games, on the the pace was always going to be fast.

Formation of the Sport of Athletics in Rotorua
Lake City Athletic Club Inc A History by Pam Kenny Three clubs joined together in April 1991, to form the current Lake City Athletic Club Inc. A short history of the earlier clubs is shown first. Rotorua Amateur Athletic & Cycling Club / Rotorua Athletic Club 1931-1991 On the 13 November 1931 a meeting was convened at Brent’s Bathgate House to establish an athletic and cycling club in Rotorua. Thirty people were in attendance and the Rotorua Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club was formed, with the club achieving incorporated society status in 1938. Blue and gold were the club colours - blue singlet/blouse and shorts with gold “R” on the top. Weekly competitions were held at the Rotorua Boys High on a Friday evening, with the customary track and field events for the runners, with cyclists contesting both track and road races. Val Robinson winning an early ladies’ athletics meeting in the late 1940's The club went into recess during the Second World War, with activities resuming October 1944. Venues utilized between 1944 and 1960 were Harriers in the late 1940's - L to R; John Wild, Alex Kuirau Park, the old A&P Showgrounds near Uta Millar, Keith French, Harry Findon Street, Arawa Park, Pererika Street, and again Kuirau Park. 1961 saw the Club at Smallbone Park, its home until the 1983/84 season, when a move was made to the new International Stadium, though the inadequacy of the track led to a return to Smallbone Park for a season. 1986 it was back to the Stadium until sand carpeting of the ground prevented permanent lane markings and children being able to run barefooted.

As the date of the Opening Ceremony approaches, and athlete selection announcements begin to flow, we look forward to welcoming new Olympians into the New Zealand Olympian whanau. It’s clear that these Games will be conducted in challenging circumstances. Our athletes are preparing for a tough and very different Olympic Games experience. News that international spectators will not be able to attend the Games (while understandably necessary) is a blow, especially for competing athletes and their families. Because of these international travel restrictions, NZOC and its partners have sought new ways for New Zealanders to show their support. Some fantastic national and regional events are planned (we had a sneak preview at our last Olympians Commission meeting. Read more below about the Great Olympic Skate Roadshow which will be visiting 40 towns in 41 days, kicking off on Monday May 10th, with Olympians from all Games set to join for parts of the journey.
