On top of the world looking down on creation ...

The Calliope Harrier Club established itself as the premier cross country race walking club in Auckland this last Saturday at the world famous Southland Centennial relay held at Owaikaka.


Caliope took out the first four places in this major race walking relay event and the fastest time. With yours truly setting a new lap record. The winning team had establish a four minute by the finishing tape.

The long anticipated challenge from Race Walking Auckland sadly did not eventuate.

The majority of the Calliope walkers, having been cross country runners in the past, were well placed to apply their cross country experience and honed skills to this very demanding new discipline of cross country race walking.

After the race we retired to our clubrooms to celebrate our new found success in this new discipline and to declare open the 2010 harrier season.
