 19th Masters' Road Races, Johnsonville, 3 August 2003

First male runner was Dave Murgatroyd (Olympic), while the first female was  Diane Rogers (Trentham United). The first walker was John Palmer (Scottish), with Diane Isherwood (Wainuiomata) second.

The races took place in sunny, still conditions. The road run is five times round a hilly 1-mile loop in Johnsonville, while the walkers do four laps for 6.4k.

In the club runners' teams event (mixed gender, four to count), Olympic was first on countback with 45 points, followed by Scottish (also 45 points), Trentham United (49 points) and Valleys United (55 points).

Diane Rogers (Trentham United Harriers) won the Jim Lockhart and Mariette Hewitson Memorial Baton for being the closest to breaking an age record in the run.

After the races, as is the custom, runners and walkers were treated to a hot lunch in the Olympic Harriers' clubrooms. Brian Watson of Olympic Harriers has been organising these races for the Wellington Masters Athletics (Vets Association) since 1985.

Steve Hunt (at age 40) of Scottish set the men's race record with a time of 26:15 in 1994, while Judith Stewart, also from Scottish, set the women's record of 31:56 in 1989 when she was 35.
