This year’s Cambridge Half Marathon attracted more than 500 entries across all distances, a number described by organisers, the Cambridge Harriers and Athletic Club, as a great result in a year where the event did not double as the New Zealand Half Marathon Championships.
The Half Marathon, held as an annual fun run and walk across 10km, 5km, and a 2km kids’ race, was run in Cambridge last Sunday.
The half marathon race was won by Jack Murray from Horsham Downs in 1h 19m, with Ketina Chivasa from Glen Eden the first female home in 1h 35m.
The 10km race came produced a close finish featuring Cambridge Harriers club members Steve Rees-Jones and Will Taylor, with the more experienced Rees-Jones first over the line in 33.04, six seconds in front of Taylor. Cambridge Harriers’ Lauren Shelley was first female across the line in 45.40, six second ahead of Helen Hall-King from Hamilton City Hawks.
The 5km races were won by Hamilton City Hawks’ and St Peter’s Cambridge athletes Jake Lomas and Boh Ritchie.
Winners in the 2km kids’ dash were Jack Lockwood and Evie Ball.
