Te Aroha Landing is great for runners and bikers alike. Each unit is like a small (and not so small) house with everything you need... 4 of the 6 units even have a garage. This is great for wet or dirty gear and of course if you have one of those bike things.We stayed in a 3 bedroom unit with a double garage... awesome!

Morrinsville is a place I would probably not know much about normally... except that I started a BNI Chapter up there a few years back and have since visited there every 5 to 6 weeks.


So after sleeping wonderfully well, we were at Morrinsville College in plenty of time for the start - as I usually am. The day was very nice... almost too nice for running a Half Marathon.



This was one of the only Half Marathons I have ever run - in fact I cannot even remember one other that is totally through streets of houses, no running by rivers or bays. No running through country roads. The whole race was in the town, 2 laps of what felt like a convoluted course and yet when seen on the map afterwards (below) it wasn't. The only respite at all from the houses was a 200m stretch beside the Golf Club.


Having run up some pretty big hills the day before, my aim here was just to finish and eventually I dragged myself home in just over 1:51. I finally met up with one of my BNI members at the finish line, Peter from Cooper Aikten was doing his duty there.
An enjoyable day and number 28 in the books.
