The 2nd GJ Gardner Northlake Junior Duathlon will take place on the 28th of March. Hosted by Braden Currie (World Multisport Champion and NZ Long Distance Triathlon champion). Braden along with his wife Sally organise this event as a fundraiser for the local schools with all proceeds going towards sports equipment. Last year $3000 was generated and donated to Hawea and Wanaka Primary. The event includes 3 age groups, 5-6 years, 7-8 years and 9-10years and includes a run, bike, run and slip and slide. The event was a huge success last year with 150 children participating. We hope to double this number this year and our target is a $5000 donation to schools. Every child will receive a medal and with the

help of Outside Sports and GJ Gardner, we are also able to give away 1 Specialized bike for a spot prize and a selection of Specialized helmets, bike gloves and New Balance shoes to our podium place getters. Registration is open now and entry forms are available from your school office or on the Northlake Junior Duathlon facebook page. Early bird entry is only $20. See you there and bring some extra coins as there’s a sausage sizzle, and a cake stall, coffee & ice-cream, as well as the Mitre 10 jumping castle for the little ones. Remember the Junior Challenge Wanaka is next weekend, a great opportunity to get a race under your belt so that you’re in prime condition when the 28th of March comes around. All the best with your training!
