Melissa Moon and Grant McLean are the Athletics Wellington half marathon champions for 2006. 

Grant McLean won the men's half in 1:13, ahead of Kapiti's Paul Forster, while Melissa Moon led in the women in 1:22 with Lotty Baldrey and Sarah Kleeman second and third. Swarms of Scottish members made this a bit of a club reunion for 2006.  

First walker was Peter Baillie with a time of 2:06.

In the 10k, our fastest man was Richard Brent (36:59) and fastest woman, Bernie Portenski (38:37).

Some 455 finished the half marathon, while 289 completed the new 10k event.

The traditional appalling northerly was present to test the mettle of runners and walkers.

Matyas James started 3:20 late and so his time was actually around 1:28:15. So far, runner Roger Twose has been put in with the walkers. In the table below, I've chopped an hour off his time. The reverse happened to Bart Jones.  I've added an hour to his time and put him in the walkers.

Those of you who want to be considered for the Wellington Championships should remember to put your registration number on the entry form and wear your Scottish uniform for the race! You get a break on the entry fee, too, if you indicate you are registered.
