There are also study tables and room to spread out your books or meet with friends. The iconic Rotorua Marathon is gearing up for it’s 49th year on 4 May 2013. However its humble beginnings go back as far as 1965 when it was initially called ‘The Fletcher Challenge Marathon’. Jack Foster was a local champion runner and four times winner of the marathon in 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1975, even though he didn’t take up running until he was 32, an age when most athletics careers are nearing an end. At the age of 37 Jack was a world‐class marathon runner and at 38 he represented NZ at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. When he was 39 he set a world 20mile track record (1:39:14) and was placed 8th at the Olympic games in Munich at the age of 40. At 41 Jack set a world masters marathon mark (2:11:18) which lasted sixteen years and in 1974 at the age of 42 he won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Christchurch. He then went on to win the Honolulu Marathon, compete in the Montreal Olympic Games at age 44 and at age 50 ran a world marathon record (2:20:28) for his age group. Some events happening in Youth Week are: Sadly Jack Foster died on 5 June 2004 at the age of 72 when his bicycle collided with a car in Rotorua.

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.

  • 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.
