Another great turnout for a chilly Tuesday training in Feilding. We did the loop track around the park so we were out of the cold wind for at least some of the time.
So many good chats and laughter along the way - the benefits of coming to a training are social as well as physical.

What a fantastic turnout by the team today. As per usual, there were lots of smiles, energy, enthusiasm and colour!

Today was all about parkrun tutu day and that certainly added to the fun.

Well done to Tara Johnsen on improving her personal best time - a testament to all the hard work she's put in (and maybe a little pushing from her guide 😆).

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Lots of fun with two competitive wheelies and an Achilles pack run at parkrun palmy this morning. Congratulations to Delwyn for her 50th parkrun and 25th time volunteering at Oroua Parkrun in Feilding this morning.

Video of our Manawatu Achilles trip away to Taupo Marathon, featuring Jono conquering the 10km course in his wheelchair. The soundtrack is worth a listen to, it was created especially for our trip away.

Taupo marathon turned on a crisp clear day. Achilles Manawatu members all out in a great effort and did well on the course. Plus enjoyed meeting up with members from other chapters.
