Race Walking:
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.
