Whanganui turned on beautiful weather for the final day of the 30th New Zealand Masters Games on Sunday.

Over 4000 competitors, supporters and fans enjoyed 10 days of fine weather in the river city for the duration of the games.

Local competitors made strong finishes across the board in around 50 competitive events.

Chronicle photographer Stuart Munro captured some of the smiles and determined faces during the final weekend.
