In the 17th annual Sri Chinmoy 24-Hour Races (NZ 24-Hr Champs) Mick Thwaites, 40 (Brisbane AUS) ran an inspired race to achieve a new personal best/ race record of 234.073 kms ... adding over 9 km to the previous mark of 224.800 kms set by Ian Curtis (Tauranga) in 1997.

Runner-up Wayne Botha 42, Auckland (203.047 km) made a valiant attempt to regain the Guinness 24-hour barefoot record (now 220 km) that he had set in 2013 ... only to be thwarted by the onset of foot problems during the increasingly persistant overnight rain.

Val Muskett 60, Hampden Otago (110.795 km) ran a magnificent world best performance (women 60-64) In the Sri Chinmoy 12-Hour Race ... adding 1 km to the mark she set recently in Adelaide, Australia.

Vivian Cheng 26, Wellington (161.200 km) comfortably regained the 24-Hour Women's Championship followed by Patricia Stichbury 56, Ashhurst (138.692 km)

Niribili File 68, Auckland set a 24-hour national (women 65-69) age best of 125.620 km.

In the Sri Chinmoy 12-Hour Men's Race Andy Parsottam 39, New Plymouth (91.986)  was first followed by master's runner Gary Regtein 78, Auckland  who ran a very fine 84.176 km.
