We have received an email from Gary Little re Race Walking:
The Colgate Games committee has now included race walking in the 2022 Games. Should you wish to have some prior instruction for your athletes, please let me know.
It is possible that a short coaching session in Whangarei might be a worthwhile proposition. However, I am located in Kaitaia.
Gary Little and Asta Wistrand
Contact Gary at 09 929 6504, mob 021 087 00046 regarding race walking or running coaching.
Our small remote home is a quite unique Far North delight with native trees and birds all around us at 757 Diggers Valley Road, Kaitaia
