The 34th Coast Road Relay Race
Also incorporating the 16km Coast Road Classic
Sunday 17 September 2006
Organised by Leith Harrier & Athletic Club
In the six person team event, the Ariki women's team was the sole team in the A grade and so this grading was proved correct when the team finished with a time that was over 2 minutes faster than the next fastest team which was the Caversham Master's Women's No. 1 team. The Leith Women's team won the B grade.
In the women's three person team event, Leith No.1 was the winner. Otago University won the mixed three person team event while Ariki won the men's three person race.
Geoff Williamson held out a fast finishing Stewart Paul to win by just 5 seconds in a new record (new 16km course) of 60:45. Stewart Paul finished in 60:50. Third place went to Sarah Chisnall in a new senior women's record time of 61:35 to be first woman home. Allan Williment finished sixth to be the first Master Man home in a new race record of 63:34 for the Master Men's grade.
Note: All are new records due to the new 16km race course.
