PETONEMAN This Saturday, Are You Up For It ??

This weekend the 13th February is PETONEMAN 2010
Obviously the question is “Are You Up For It” there’s only one to answer that question so come on down to the clubrooms in Udy St Petone this Saturday and give it a go.

The Course
The first part of this endurance duathlon is a run from the Clubrooms, over the footbridge at Petone Railway Station and up Korokoro Rd, turn into Singers Rd and go up to the Scout Hall, enter the domain running down the steps then out over the footbridge, back to the Clubrooms in Udy St to begin the first bike leg.

Then it’s a 15km bike ride round to the Muritai Park entrance to Butterfly Creek where the 2nd run stage takes you over the track to emerge at the Kowhai St exit then a short run back to your bike.

The last leg is the bike ride back to the clubrooms with a slight addition to the course which will now go around past the Bellevue Tavern and down through Alicetown before turning into Bouverie St.
