It was a great turnout for the Wanganui Harrier Club Cross-country Race on May 15.

While it's still quite early in the season there were many runners and walkers competing for the Vaoga Cup Cross-country at a farm property on Tayforth Rd.

The fastest time of the day went to new member Brendon Sharratt, completing the 6.3km in a time of 25min 39sec.

Meanwhile, it was also a good effort by the competitors who participated in the Johnson Memorial event on May 22.

Sharrat again posted the fastest time of the day covering the 8km journey in 31.08mins.

The Wanganui Harrier Club's next event is on Saturday, May 29, at 1.30pm - a Run & Bike, at the clubrooms.
