Former champion jockey Lance O'Sullivan paid a whistle-stop visit to Wanganui yesterday - to run around the city's racecourse.
O'Sullivan and his companions, Jason Fleming, Andre Klein and Simon Cooper, stopped in Wanganui as part of the Trackwalk tour, a fundraising effort for the Catwalk Spinal Cord Injury Trust.
The four men, all connected with the racing industry, are raising money for Catwalk by running around every licensed thoroughbred racecourse in New Zealand.
They aim to raise $50,000.
A group of about 20 supporters turned up at the Wanganui racecourse to run the 1.8km track with the team.
